Title: B175 wiring conundrum
Post by: BeenyBoy on 28 Jun, 2018, 14:54
Hi

Just trying to sort out the wiring on my B175 and it appears from the wiring diagram that all 3 wires (green+white+brown) from the rectifier go to a terminal block which also has inputs from the alternator and feed back to the lighting switch.

Now this might seem a daft question but if all the wires are going into a wiring block they must in effect be connected together...this cant be right surely?  Logically they are separate circuits so why does the diagram suggest they all join at this terminal...or am I missing something ?

They are all separate connections not one common connection.
