<font face="Arial">Hi listers<br>
<br>
I need so advice as to how alternators work.<br>
<br>
I have just installed a Dynamator (an alternator in a generator
housing) in my 3000. Wired it as per the instructions but have
some problems with it.<br>
<br>
The ignition does not come on when the ignition key is turned.<br>
<br>
My question is does the generator or alternator housing need to be
earthed for the unit to function correctly?<br>
<br>
