Troubleshooting via Wiring Checks
| Symptom | Likely Wiring Fault | | :--- | :--- | | Inducer never runs | No 120V to IND terminal or bad limit string. | | Spark but no pilot | Missing 24V at PV terminal. Check MV/PV common return. | | Pilot lights but no main valve | MV terminal not sending 24V. Check gas valve coil resistance (20-60 ohms). | | Lockout (no spark) | Poor ground (GND). Module requires chassis ground for spark return. | | Intermittent flame loss | Loose SENSE wire or high voltage wire routed too close to sense wire. | delcos 3100 wiring diagram

Common wiring variants and notes
- Some Delco 3100 setups use an internal regulator (fewer external wires); others use an external regulator with discrete terminals.
- Vehicles with an ammeter route alternator output through the ammeter — modern conversions often bypass the ammeter and run B+ direct to battery with a shunt or gauge.
- If replacing an external regulator with an internal type, ensure field and sense wiring are correctly re‑routed; incorrect wiring can prevent charging or damage components.
- Use ring terminals and proper crimps; keep high-current B+ wiring short and fused near the battery.
