Can a bad Glow Plug box stop your alternator from charging?

When i stated that the studs were different sizes, i forgot to add that the terminal ends were different too.

Mogman… Wires on the oil flow sensor are white IIRC. Maybe others too?

There is no oil flow sensor
Actually I was talking about harness wires, various sending units may have different color wires, the RPM sensor comes to mind.

This thing we tie our Tachometers into. A more specific term might be dood-dad or thingy.

It’s not the terms I actually write, it’s what I actually mean.

That is the RPM sending unit

That's a Tach Sensor. It counts the number of times the engine turns in a Minute.

Thanks Springer!


Like I said, its what I mean and not what I say. LOL

Bottom line is the wires are white and not the rubberized black wires.

Currently this original poster is asking about a white wire and I was trying to point out that there are some oddball wires in our trucks that are not black.

Thanks again Springer.

Unfortunately generic statements like that are not always accurate. Here's a picture of my tach sensor..

A2 and later trucks with 4L80e trans has a few spots with white wires: Trans computer plug, TPS sensor.

Dude!!??!! My wires are white. That is not a generic statement.

My point was that HMMWV’s have wires that are NOT BLACK.

I finally got back to messing with the generator again, I found out the wires I attached must have been some aftermarket wires that powered something else, possibly the light in the back of the communication top. I hooked on the wires that was supposed to go on the regulator and it started charging, plus my RPM gauge works now
