snooketcher Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Disconnect all the factory alternator connectors from the supplied adapter . Check for power with a 12volt test light on the Red, and White wires. White gets power from the 7.5 amp ALT-S fuse in the engine compartment, red gets power from the 7.5 amp ECU-IG fuse under the dash. If this test out good the alternator is grounding out the Pink wire or the pink wire has a short to ground. You can disconnect the alternator connector and the light should go out! If not you have a short to ground on the pink wire somewhere. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double checked all connections even switched the position of the yellow wire that controls the regulator. Nothing work, and unfortunately mechman didn't pick up my call today. I'll try to reach mechman tomorrow and reset my ecu tonight Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt@mechman Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Sorry for not answering. We experienced violent storms in Knoxville on Thursday, and did not have any power or phone system, so we could not open up on Friday. It sounds like you have troubleshooted everything correctly, there is a chance that the regulator or adapter harness is faulty, but I kind of doubt it, as we tested that unit through a Scion/Toyota harness on the dyno before we sent it. Maybe we could upgrade you to one of our new 320 amp 6 phase units on exchange? We are having a sale on the new Scion units, maybe we can upgrade you while troubleshooting it for a reduced cost. Or we can just test / repair your 2010 model unit, it's up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
