Alternator Connector for LINBUS

[Maff1980]

Sorry if this has been posted before but where does the yellow/green linbus wire go to on the alternator is it this connector in the image attached?

If so how do you get it off its solid and I don’t want to force it.

I’m having the common issue of alternator not charging and stop start error. I’ve checked the wire under the sump and it seemed ok so want to do a continuity test from the bat negative shunt to the alternator yellow/green wire.

Cheers

"Coming to look at it, have a look at T10i (dark brown 10pin connector in e-box). This way, you don't have to look at the BCM directly, but take the LIN port on the BDM (negative battery terminal). We know that line between the BCM and the BDM is working fine. Saves you a couple of metres of wire and the hassle of disconnecting the BCM.

I believe to have deduced that your problem is within the orange square:"

Sorry for my lack of knowledge are they saying check for continuity from t10i dark brown connector in e-box to battery control module?

Checked for break in the wire where they suggested and it looks fine.

I think the alternator is just knackered it’s not charging at all even though it starts to idle at over 1000 rpm when the battery voltage starts to drop below 12v.
