6G Alt Question, Never Asked Before!

[DRock9]

Ok so I installed the 6G alt in my car and I like it a lot, but today I started putting in my SC-Trim and decided I would cut back on the wires so that I don't have an extra foot of alternator wires cluttering my engine bay.

I bought the plug from PA Performance and it came with a green, yellow, and white wire and what I discovered was when I went further down into the harness the white wire just dissapeared, it was not connected to anything, it seemed like it did a U-Turn and joined up with the stock 10gauge charging wires so would this be the stator wire?

I was confused because I did not know why PA Performance would include the white wire on the alternator plug if it was not going to connect to anything.

And also, when I am idling my voltage jumps up and down but when I start to go and drive it stays the same right at the middle mark in the voltage meter...what is that all about?

Thanks!

Sup DRock9,

I installed the 6G alt too and love it also, well I have the same problem too at idel it would bounce up and down also dunno what could be wrong..

well for the wires, you only need the two outside wires, the white middle wire you dont need...

Thanks for the help, that is what I figured!

Can anyone solve our problems about the bouncing idle?

Do you have a 4g ground to yours?

no problem...
Yea I got a 4g ground too, I was thinking may be get a new regulator? dunno...

Yea I have no idea, it wasn't doing it with the stock alt then all of a sudden it started happening when I installed this one.

Maybe we just don't have good batteries.
