Sorry, you are missing the point, the splice is after the resistor in the BECM, so the D+ is at ground zero until the aternator starts charging, meaning both sides of the relay are also at ground zero so how will it operate?
help, cannot find a bed and loads of ZZZZZZ's in the smilies.
To quote you, you can take a horse to water etc.

Oh well, what are the royalties for using your expression?Think I said "you can take a horse etc"

If there was no 12 volts providing an excitation current the alternator may never start to charge.
Do you not understand that 12 volts via a resistor or bulb to a fecking low resistance coil in the alternator result in the potential at the D+ being at zero? This is what produces the excitation current flow.
If the apparent voltage at D+ is zero, then how can it be different at the relay? The two are effectively directly connected together.
That's one way of putting it

The armature of the alternator has a very low resistance so is much the same as a direct connection to ground.

Well as a trained lecy i would have thought you would know how the MAF and EGR work but you don't. So we are even then.
You sure about that? Or are you suffering the same electrical confusuion as with the D+?Well as a trained lecy i would have thought you would know how the MAF and EGR work but you don't. So we are even then.
