Headlight loom from alternator - Do I use the B+ terminal


Recommended Posts

Evening,

I've searched Googlies and this forum but haven't yet found an answer.

I'm fitting a landreiziger loom to my 1989 One Ten with a retro fitted Disco 200tdi and it says to take a feed from the alternator and comes supplied with a ring terminal.

I've got the alternator on the bench, cleaned it up and in addition to the main wiring I can see a W and B+ terminal. I know the W is for a stator pulse but would I be correct in saying the B+ is a battery feed and I can use this for the loom?

Also, is this a A127 alternator? I haven't seen any stickers or part numbers yet but it could be under the rest of the grime.

Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. I used the B+ terminal.

The loom has two inline fuses to the relays so all good.

It's made a huge difference to the headlights. They have gone from a feeble orange glow to white just like all those modern cars. Well impressed.

Must admit, getting the alternator back in was a pain. Spent ages trying to line it up properly with the mount. got there in the end.
