CHARGE LAMP CONNECTION
In some applications the MSD DynaForce Alternator may be able to be wired to the factory charge
indicator. In most cases, the factory indicator will turn on when the key is On with the engine off. The
L terminal of the DynaForce will provide a ground for the indicator circuit when the alternator is NOT
turning thereby completing the circuit and lighting the charge indicator. Once the alternator is spinning
and excited, a positive voltage is activated on the L terminal. This removes the ground thereby turning
the indicator off (Figure 5). This connector is located on the side of the housing.
