The Remote Sense jumper lead is only for use with the 34SI, 35SI and 36SI alternators that are equipped with the Remote Sense feature but don’t have a Remote Sense wire connected from the vehicle. Under certain normal vehicle operating conditions, some vehicles may have a higher than desirable voltage at the battery terminals. Proper installation of the Remote Sense jumper lead can help reduce voltage to the desired range.
Notice: Remote Sense jumper lead must be removed when alternator is installed with Remote Sense connection to vehicle.
WARNING: To avoid injury or damage, always disconnect the negative cable at the battery before removing or replacing the alternator.
To install:
1) Remove the alternator battery and Remote Sense terminals hardware. When removing or installing alternator hardware, hold the bottom jam nut with a wrench to prevent loosening the terminals from the alternator.
2) Place jumper lead eyelets over the battery and Remote Sense terminals.
• Place lead with eyelet crimps up.
• Route lead as shown in graphic above.
3) Replace hardware on Remote Sense terminals finger tight.

5) Install vehicle battery cable first.
6) Install jumper lead to b+ terminal on top of vehicle cable and reinstall battery terminal hardware.
