haha beat me too it, As above.
The alternator for the CA has 4 wires. E-B-S-L. S&L are in the plug.
Earth, self explanatory = E, is black and screwed into the back of the alternator.
The Main charge wire from the battery is on a stud (shielded stud and the original was white but thick). This is B, this goes to the battery through a fuseable link or high amp fuse (around 100amps).
The two wires in the plug are S and L.
S is the white wire which is a balance wire and should be roughly the same length as the main charge wire B and terminated on B close (if not on) the Battery. There is no need for a fuse on this wire. What this does is sense when the battery is full and stops the alternator overcharging the battery. Some people drop this wire but it is not advisable.
The last wire L is a White/Red wire which goes to the charge light.
The L wire is earthed within the alternator, so your charge light needs to be feed with 12v from another source. If that makes sense?
Depending on your idle speed sometimes you need to rev a little before the charge light will go out, but once out should stay out till you shut down.
