MAJOR POWER DISTRIBUTION

The following charts and illustrations convey how power is distributed from the vehicle batteries to the fuse/relay centers.

Power is supplied to the fuse boxes from the batteries through fusible links. Each fuse box has internal power busses that direct the
power to the fuses (Figure 12-29). The busses are indicated on the fuse charts as follows: I = Ignition, B = Battery, A = Acces-
sory, L = Lamps.

The fuse charts contain a listing of the cavities in the fuse box, the corresponding circuits, wire colors and gauges (ga.). Power is
supplied to an individual fuse by the buss indicated in the left buss column. The circuit number (CKT No.) contains two entries
for a fuse: the power supply buss and the outgoing circuit number. The numbers in the cavity column relate to the cavities indi-
cated on the fuse/relay cavity I.D. illustrations.

Using this information, you can determine which cavity of a fuse is the power supply cavity and which other fuses are supplied by
the same buss.

ALTERNATOR

Removal

1.

Disconnect the battery negative cable.

2.

Drain the coolant and remove the coolant over flow tank.

3.

Remove the serpentine drivebelt from the alternator pulley.

4.

Remove the P clamp securing the alternator wires.

5.

Loosen the two bolts securing the alternator to the alternator bracket (Figure 12-30).

6.

Pull the alternator away from the engine. Remove the nut and the lockwasher and disconnect the battery wires from the battery
alternator terminal (Figure 12-31).

Installation

1.

Connect the battery wires to the alternator. Secure with the lockwasher and the nut. Tighten the nut to 62-80 lb-in (7-9 N•m).

2.

Connect the field wire connector to the alternator.

3.

Move the alternator into alignment with the bracket and install the mounting bolts. Tighten the bolts 18 lb-ft (25 N•m).

4.

Install the serpentine drivebelt on the pulley and adjust the belt.

5.

Connect the battery negative cable.

NOTE: The green POWER lamp of the tester
should remain illuminated while the tester is be-
ing used.

1.

Turn OFF the ignition.

2.

Connect the red lead of the J 41450-B Uni-
versal CS alternator test harness to the alter-
nator output terminal.

3.

Connect the black lead of the J 41450-B to
the metal alternator housing.

1.

Turn OFF completely the load tool before
connecting or disconnecting a carbon pile
load tester to the battery. Otherwise, sparking
at the terminals could cause battery gasses to
explode.

2.

Connect a carbon pile tester to the vehicle.

NOTE: Ensure that all alternator output circuit
wires pass through the inductive probe.

3.

Connect an inductive ammeter to the output
circuit of the alternator.

4.

Disconnect the alternator harness connector.

5.

Locate the matching harness connector on
the J 41450-B , and connect the connector to
the alternator.
