ka24e alternator ground?
I bought my 240 with a newly rebuilt motor. I've been having the ebrake and battery lights problem so i had my battery and alt checked and everything was fine. I came across something that said to check your alternator ground. Turns out the guy I bought the car from did not ground the alternator, so I think thats the at least one problem. My question is where on the alternator do I attach the ground wire? Can't find it in my FSM. Sorry for the newb question, but I have searched. O yea it's a 1990.
Thanks
^my alt. thats what is already hooked up.

Thanks for the response. Will this be the wire that i ground to the chassis? I've read there are two grounds coming off the alternator?
Also, could this be the reason my lights are flickering (brighter/dimmer) at higher rpm?

i just took a closer look at you pics and it seems that the alt is conected to what should be a grounding wire.
.
you should ckeck to see if there is any ground coming to that wire

Yea it does seem like all the wires that should be on there are on there. I thought maybe another wire might have to lay over top of one there already. It seems like that's not the case. I feel like a pretty big idiot asking this, but how do i check to see if there's ground coming to that wire? I have a multimeter already. Thanks for your patience.

ok that second pic helps beacuse i proves is was right there is a grounding wire on the alt already but it's not properly gounded.
you need to place the bolt on an unpainted surface. and yes that could be the reason why your lights flicker.
