Charging-system wiring diagram showing battery, generator/voltage regulator, fuse link and color-coded circuits.
Part of 1980-1986 Ford Bronco Wiring Diagrams
This is page 12-1, "Charging System," from the 1995 Ford Bronco electrical/vacuum troubleshooting manual (EVTM). It presents the complete charging system wiring diagram, showing the battery, generator/voltage regulator (with internal rectifier, regulator, and sensing/switching circuits, plus F screw and A screw terminals), fuse link J (12-gauge, gray), the ignition switch (hot at all times, with START/RUN/OFF/ACC/LOCK positions), and the charge indicator in the instrument cluster with a 500-ohm parallel resistor. Wire circuits are labeled with circuit numbers and colors: circuit 38 BK/O from fuse link J to the generator B+, circuit 16 R/LG from the ignition switch through splice S206, circuit 904 LG/R to the regulator I terminal via connectors C202F/C202M and C139F/C139M, circuit 36 Y/W, and circuit 4 W/BK on the stator feedback. Connectors shown include C269, C250, C153, C154, C202, and C139; grounds are G101 (body) and G103 (engine). An explanatory note describes regulator operation: voltage on the sense A circuit energizes the field coil, AC output is rectified to DC at B+, and the stator (S) circuit feeds back roughly half battery voltage to turn off the charge indicator. Cross-references point to section 14-00 for diagnostics, page 13-3 for power distribution and ignition switch, page 60-4 for the instrument cluster, and page 20-1 for the starting system.

Frequently asked questions
- What wire color and gauge is the charging circuit from fuse link J to the generator B+ on a 1995 Bronco?
- Circuit 38, black with orange stripe (BK/O), fed through fuse link J which is a 12-gauge gray fusible link.
- What circuit runs from the charge indicator to the voltage regulator?
- Circuit 904, light green with red stripe (LG/R), passing through connectors C202F/C202M and C139F/C139M.
- How does the charge indicator turn off according to this diagram?
- The stator (S) circuit feeds a voltage signal back from the generator to the regulator, typically half battery voltage, and the regulator uses this voltage to turn off the indicator. A 500-ohm resistor is shown in parallel with the indicator.
- Where do I find diagnostic and related information for this charging system?
- Diagnostics are in section 14-00 of the Service Manual; power distribution and ignition switch are on page 13-3 (switch testing page 149-2), the instrument cluster on page 60-4, and the starting system on page 20-1.
- What grounds are used in the 1995 Bronco charging system?
- G101 (body ground) and G103 (engine ground), both connected with black (BK) wires from the battery negative side.
