Well,as stated,it ain't the Alternator

The setup the "Wrench Turner" enacted for the wiring connection difference
is almost exactly what GSXR did to be able to "UpGrade" his W124 to a 150 Amp
setup. [Dave used larger AWG wiring for the 150A](See Picture below)

I've gotta "Prognosticate" in reverse (Hindsight) and speculate that "Someone"
either left some connections "Off" or LOOSE (SOMEWHERE?)maybe,behind the dash panel during the modifications...
OR OVER Voltaged/Amped that side of the Panel Whilst "Non-Georgia Tech
Approved Re-Engineering"ed the electrical system.
(When the "Wrench Turner" "Soldered" the "Little" wire to the "Mini-Connector",
DID he disconnect the opposite end of the little wire FIRST?)
(Did he "Solder" it with an Arc Welder, Maybe?)


Hint,Hint,Hint...

The Grounds behind the IC are notorious for screwing with us!

EDIT: I just saw 79mercy's reply AND it does have it's merits!
