    Only going by my 2.5 and the SIII schematic, but the internally-regulated alternator output goes directly to the big stud on the starter with nothing in between.

        X2. There are other wires that go to the wiring harness to control it but the important wire is pretty much wired to the battery via the starter solenoid stud.
