Re: transit aulternator
When you had the red/white wire connected to the middle pin and it was not running did the warning light come on.
IE: if the warning light bulb blows this can cause some alternators not to charge, as it gets 12v via the bulb.
I believe the warning light terminal should be negative when not running/charging and positive when running/charging. As the warning light is fed 12v positive , this would be correct.
As you found out if you connect the black/white wire here it won't turn off as when running it's giving 12v out and this black/white wire is also connected to the coil.
