Hi Everyone,
I have a technical question about the electrical system on my 1989 Jeep Grand
Wagoneer. I want to know if the power feed/output on the alternator is LIVE
all the time (directly connected to battery) or if it only has juice to/from it
when the ignition is on and engine running.
I have built a home-made hydrogen generator (which works!) and have installed it on my Jeep. I WAS running juice to it from the additional lead at the ignition coil, but it's drawing too much juice away from the coil, so that the coil is not fully charging under load. When I hammer the gas peddle down, the engine stutters. Under normal load it's fine. After unhooking the Hydrogen unit, the ignition coil functions properly under load.
So, basically, I am looking for a good place under the hood, to hard wire the Hydrogen unit, so that it is hooked into and Ignition ON wire and OFF when the Jeep isn't running. I thought that the alternator would be the best place for this, pending the wire isn't HOT when the ignition is off.
Please email me back at <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx> ... Thanks for any help/pointers you all provide!
