Ford Taurus SHO 3.2L Charging System Wiring Diagram - Alternator/Regulator

This is page 12-2 of a Ford factory-style wiring diagram covering the charging system for the 3.2L SHO engine (Ford Taurus SHO). The diagram shows the integral alternator/regulator (IAR) circuit, including the battery, starter motor/solenoid (referenced to page 20-3), engine compartment fuse box (page 13-1), fuse links T and G (12 gauge gray) and fuse link F (16 gauge gray), the ignition switch (hot at all times, with switch testing referenced to page 149-6), and the instrument cluster alternator warning indicator with its 500-ohm resistor (page 61-1). Wire circuits identified include 38 BK/O and 30 BK/O (12V feeds), 36 Y/W (stator feedback through connector C1066), 16 R/LG (ignition-switched feed through C299, splice S210, and C250), and 904 LG/R (indicator circuit through C250, C100, and C154). Grounds G100 (engine) and G101 (body) are shown via black wires (grounds page 10-1). A text callout explains regulator operation: with voltage applied, the regulator allows current from the sense A circuit to the alternator field coil; AC output is converted to DC by an internal rectifier and supplied through the B+ terminal, while the S (stator) circuit feeds back roughly half battery voltage to turn off the warning indicator.
