Did you carefully look under the driver's seat for a relay? Lots of 1990
passenger Syncros have a small relay there. The AW campers were built
from passenger models. While the AW may not use it it could still be
there are partially connected. If that is the case, simply pull the
small blue wire from the relay. This blue wire comes from the alternator
light circuit. When you rev the engine and the alternator light goes out
this blue wire gets 13 volts and passes it through the relay coil to the
red/black wire.
