You need to remove the voltage regulator from the alternator and bend the connector prong of the alternator down so the regulator will no longer connect with the alternator. Then connect the regulator tab the previously connected to the alternator, via a (soldered) wire to the R terminal of the Isolator. Please see http://www.surepower.com/pdf/180012p.pdf for full illustrated details. If this sounds like too much modification, You should get Sure Power's Battery Separator. No alternator hooudoo required. Good results reported to the list... Let me know how this turns out... John Meeks - KC8ZFN Vanagon Rescue Squad http://www.vanagonauts.com/?catid=74 |
