I removed the alternator (Lucas LRB218) this afternoon to check the state of the voltage regulator (fried as it happens). To remove it I had to disconnect the battery wire and the lamp wire, but there is a third connector with no wire attached, which according to here: Rotating Machines Ltd is for "phase". It was getting pretty dark, I had a bit of a hunt around for an unconnected wire, but could not find one. A bit of research indicates the phase connector might be for supplying a lower voltage for certain electronics in the car. Does this apply to this model?
Should I hunt some more in daylight?
