That's absolutely not what I told him. Re read his post and take a look at the pic he posted more carefully. Both the Bosch and Valeo alternators have just 2 terminals, B+ and D+. B+ runs to the battery, D+ runs to the warning light in the dash. In his case his Valeo alternator came with a Different D+ pigtails with 2 wires coming off of it. The second wire was likely used to run a tachometer on whatever car it came off of. The 300SDL has a separate tachometer input so the second wire is unnecessary in his case. His D+ terminal only needs to connect to the dashboard warning light. I hope that clears up your confusion.
