Subject:alternator blue wire
From:Tonya Pope
Date:Wed, 29 May 2002 10:54:54 -0500

Hi all --

Someone wrote a week or so ago that the battery and ox light
being on might be because of the blue wire on the alternator.  This
is on an 87, btw.  When I replaced my alternator, there wasn't the
same connection for the blue wire as was on my old one.

What exactly does this wire do, where should it be connected, and
does it need the 2.2 microfarad capacitor that was connected to it
on the old alternator?

Thanks,
Tonya
