I recently replaced the generator in my SIV. The take-out generator had "neg earth" stamped on the housing. The replacement generator (from VB) also had "neg earth" stamped on it as well. The car is positive earth.
Since the installation of the new generator the electrical system does not seem to be recharging. The ammeter only reads zero or in the negative. Previously, the ammeter would read positive (indicating a charging condition), but the needle would occassionally swing wildly from side to side, before settling in again to its charging position.
We did try repolarizing the generator, but it did not seem to make any difference. Can anyone provide some direction on this matter?
Thanks,
