Have a black and white wire at back of alternator, besides the green clip. Do they both go to the + battery spot on the alternator? At the positive battery
terminal there are a white and a black wire which have
been altered but were hooked up to the positive terminal,
are they correct?
I believe the fuse or the alternator dash bulb for the dash alternator light are out. Truck is stranded, no pics
or money.
