From the alt. output post put a jumper to the farthest away 1/4 inch flat terminal,put the other terminal to your dash light wire,send the big output post to charge the battery. Turn on key gen. light comes on start engine gen light goes out,alt makes a special noise when charging,also gets warm,feel where the two halves meet laminations there heat up.
