The Alternator seized this past weekend. So now I have to replace. I drew a diagram of the wires, but now I am not too sure that I drew it correctly. Does anyone have a picture of the correct wiring diagram?
Second question, I wired it all and R&R'ed the whole thing. However, when I tried to bump start it (and seat the belt) correctly, I connected the ground on the battery and the red generator light came on the dash (even though the key was off). I tried starting, but no go... Maybe the battery is low. However the blower came on (and maybe the CD unit too)? I am concerned about the "red generator" being on....even though the key is off.
Any ideas!!???

BTW, here is how I have it wired: going from left to right (and looking down from the top of the engine:
1st position - open
2nd position - 2 large red wire with rubber gasket
3rd position - black (or dirty green) wire with rubber gasket
4th position - open
5th position - smaller bundle of red wires (no rubber gasket)
