69 Voltage Regulator wiring

[j69302]

I had to repair the connectors on my wiring going into the voltage regulator.

I took a picture before at the original way it was wired.

Green/Red stripe to the "F" post on the volt reg
Orange wire to the "S" post
Yellow wire to the "A" post, which also splices off to the condensor.

I hooked it back up this way and decided to check my wiring diagram in my Hayes manual.

It shows the Orange and Yellow wires switched from what I have it at now.

I was just looking for some confirmation on this.

Also the Green wire with the red strip splices off to another green/red wire with a single female bullet connector. I was wondering where this would normally go. Nothing has ever been hooked to it and it looks like the original plug.

The manual is correct. Can't explain the picture, but the F term is the orange wire to the alternanter, the S term is the Green / Red strip wire, and the A term is the one with the condensor-says it's Green w/ Black strip but that sounds odd.

I don't have good 69-70 pictures in photobucket to post. You may see Tim post up some cool diagrams later though...

Found this...

The diagram you posted had 4 wires. Mine only had 3, the bottom terminal on my regulator has never been used.

Also the colors on the diagram dont match the colors on my alternator side of the harness. The STA post on my alternator has never had a wire hooked up to it..

I guess ill just pin out the wires make sure each post on the regulator goes to to correct spot on the alternator.

Well then maybe the graphic was a mistake...your question was about two wires that were in the wrong place. Thats what the graphic was addressing.
The green w/red strip wire runs from the S term back to the ign switch. This is switched 12v. The F term is conncted to the F term on the alt in the Mustang model. The A term is connected to battery source, as shown on the diagram and the shop manual you have. The I term is the Instrument feed. It runs to the idiot light in the dash if used in that particuler model.
You may get some odd readings checking the continuity of some of the wires. If you want to do that, you should unhook all the wires to make sure you aren't reading a parallel path. through the alt or regulater.

switched the terminals to what you said and its working good

Thank you
