Applicable to these part numbers:
- Connect one end of the black wire to the grounding point on the voltage regulator.
Mechanical voltage regulators
On both the Magneti Marelli and Bosch mechanical voltage regulators, the black wire will have a 5 mm ring terminal at the voltage regulator end (be careful not to fit the larger 6 mm ring terminal on the other end of the wire).
Connections - Magneti Marelli mechanical voltage regulator

Electronic voltage regulators
On the Bosch electronic voltage regulator, the black wire will have a 6 mm ring terminal at the voltage regulator end. Secure this ring terminal to the body of the voltage regulator, using the same bolt the you use to secure the voltage regulator to the voltage regulator bracket.
