Subject:Re: Help:Little blue wire on alternator????89 Syncro GL

This wire seems to always wear out.  All mine did.  In my 84's it goes
back into the black
distribution box in the engine compartment.  If this wire is broken the
alternator won't charge is
my understanding.  Trace it back and splice a good one in.

Listees,
this blue wire is cut/broken off at the alternator (12 o'clock
position). Can't seem to find anything in the Bentley. I am no expert,
as you can tell. Also, my battery LED does not come on when starting the
van, and I have to rev the engine to almost 4000rpm when warn to have
the regulator switch. New regulator?????
TIA.
