Re: ignition and alternator wireing HELP!

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Tom , that is a very good wireing diagram, and all who gave me input. 
I think the ignition problem is solved. Thre clue was -the brown wire to the 
ballast resister.   I had checked that  wire. It had a splice terminal on 
the end and no other wire to the other end of the splice. No power from it 
even with the ignition switch on. I thought maybe it only had power when the 
starter was cranking, so I hooked up a remote starter button--No Go. Then 
when I found out the ballast needed a brown wire to it for sure. So--I 
wondered if the starter needed to be cranking with the ignition switch. The 
wifey ran the ignition switch while I tested the brown wire, and 
BINGO. --full 12 volts to it with the starter cranking.  Ran out of time so 
tomorrow I will hook everything up and test again.

Now to figger out the alternator and electronc regulator  issue.  I need a 
simple wireing diagram like the one Tom posted, but for a electronic 
regulator Any more input??Thanks .....................MO
