If you look at the thread below for the diagram, my question will make more sense:

According to Van's instructions, only lead #3 is used for the field switch from the alternator. According to Plane Power, #3 and #2 are used.
Whose directions do you follow?
Also, to throw a curve into the equation, the plug came wired from Plane Power and has a jumper from #2 to #1. What's up this?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

While I have you electrical gurus attention, I have another question. According to the Vans diagram, it list an optional wiring for the starter selenoid. This one has you remove a jumper on the selenoid and add a wire from the "I" terminal on the starter relay to the selenoid. Is this any better than leaving the jumper in place and only having the main 2 gauge wire from the relay to the starter and no lead on the "I" post?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks in advance from all.
This ONE connection for the alternator field will finish all wiring under the cowl.
I called it quits today because I just wasn't sure. ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
