Could anyone tell me were the negative cable from the battery goes. Does it go to the starter motor or on the gearbox bell housing? Also were does the alternator negative cable go? Does it go to the gearbox bell housing or the starter motor?
when i originaly done it, i put both of the cables on the starter motor and then we took them off a few days ago and now we put the battery neg on the starter and the alternator neg cable on the gearbox housing were the black cable holder is and now the battery light stays on. So we did some fiddling. If the alternator cable is not connected the battery light on the clocks comes on and then goes out just like its ment to.

thanks
