I just put a new alternator on my 2000 Z-28 camaro and the red wire that plugs into the top of it has no fire when ignition is on. The altenator is good had it tested before i left the store and i have a new red top battery to back it up. It will not charge the battery and ive tried to trace the little red wire but cant find where it goes please help me solve this problem on locating it where i can run a new wire from or fix the problem. Thanks

I'd start by checking fuses..

Look at the fuses under the hood, it'll be a larger amp fuse.

I checked all fuses . nothing blown so instead of re wiring or hunting forever im going to run a wire from alternator plug to 500ohm resistor to a 12volt ignition source . tell me what u think this should work out ok i hope.

This may sound stupid but does anyone have a pic of which red wire(pin 15) Exciter wire on the pcm to check for signal coming out of it / Im not sure on which one to check and i cant find anything on which red wire is that one.

Im still running all oem electonics (No Carb set up ) Id like to run the alternator a seperate exciter wire could i do this by running a wire from the fuse block ignition fuse to a 35-500 ohm resistor then to the alternator and will this damage the alternator ? Do i need to run a toggle switch to turn it off and on or will the regulator in the alternator kick it off and on ?

I found the problem the computer is not sending a signal to the exciter wire on the alt. So if you guys could help or have any suggestions itd be helpful.
