Elan S4 now with alternator (Federal)
Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 10:57 pm
Having now spent many hours comparing my new British Wiring (alternator ready) loom with the factory manual wiring diagram enlarged by Kinkos I believe I have most of it understood. However, one thing is not apparent from either the S4 or the +2S wiring diagrams; how to wire up the solenoid. I believe it should be as follows using the push button Mini type solenoid from Ray at RD:
1) Battery cable in, large brown from alternator, white/red to ign. warning light and large brown/blue (feed) all go to the battery cable in threaded post.
2) The offset smaller diameter threaded post is the earth
3) Battery cable out to starter has no other wires attached.
This apprears consistent with

but I do not want to get this wrong and fry the loom or the alternator!
Input gratefully received. Picture attached below.
