Dear all,
I would appreciate any expert advice for the following situation:
My vehicle, Jeep Liberty 07, required an alternator replacement.
This vehicle connects to the Alternator with a Single field dual wire.
One wire Brown/gr is the single field connector (two pins vertical) and the other is the Kelvin Sense (Blue). Both are connected to the PCM.
I received the new alternator, with wrong connector. The type was dual field , connector with two horizontal pins (F1 F2).
I have grounded one field and connected the other to the single field wire (Brown/green).
The Blue wire (sense) was not connected anywhere.
The Alternator functions and charges ~14.2v and no apparent errors appear in vehicle.
I am a bit worried, as the Blue sense wire has not been connected anywhere and it is connected to the PCM for voltage/amp regulation(?).
The only info I could find was here: https://www.remyautomotive.com/dam/jcr:a3bb430a-75da-45ac-9735-70d938cb91c6/7)%20Technical%20Service%20Bulletin%20-%20July%202016.pdf
Please advise:
A> should I worry that the blue wire is disconnected (probably should)
B> where should I connect the Sense (blue wire)
C> Is there a conversion kit/Harness that just may simplify?
Returning the alternator is a bit problematic as it was shipped to me from overseas and the return shipping might be costly.
Thank you for your help and advice!
