This is the back of my alternator. Taking a digital picture is a good way of getting a solid view of the back of that jumble of cables, which the previous owner was kind enough to spray paint green.
Currently the red (+) goes from the battery to the starter motor, where the red(+) from the alternator is attached to the same pin.
I want to install a diode splitter. So the red from the battery stays on the starter motor, the red from the alternator goes to the diode.
But where is the sense wire? And what is "W" and what is "D+" ?
