Squareback Connection to Electronic VR
Alright, I just got back in from striping the tape off of the wiring harness. Never saw such a mess!! Different color wires connected to different colored wires. Have attached pictures.
Here is what I saw and found out. Hope you can follow!
Starting at alternator:
1. Yellow wire from field terminal connected to green wire about eight inches back. Green wire connects to green wire at VR plug. This connects to "I" post on VR.
2. Black wire from second field terminal connects to white wire on VR plug. This connects to "F" post on VR. A Blue wire is also connected at this junction. Blue wire, connected to White and Black wire, goes for about a foot and is then connected to a Black wire. Black wire goes to plugin for ballast resistor where it is connected to two other wires. One wire is Black and goes to bulkhead plugin. Light gray wire with stripe goes to electronic ignition.
3. Blue wire that is cut near alternator is connected to a Black wire about eight inches back. Black wire connects to a Blue wire a couple inches form the bulkhead. At bulkhead Blue wire was attached to spade. (In photo spade is one with blue tape on it.) This spade is hot if key is on or off. Do not know what this terminal is supposed to attach to or used for.
So, it looks like the "F" post on VR is connected to the ballast resistor to get switched battery power. Should I disconnect the Blue wire from the "F" post and connect it to the Green wire attached to the "I" post?
