Jim Meier Shop Shark J Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 156 NW Ohio	Looking at the wiring diagram I see the battery and horn hooked to one side of the ammeter and everything else connected to the other side. Does this mean that the lead from a one wire self exciting alternator should be connected to the same side as the battery and horn?
