Hot ballast resistor and smokin. no start at all when turning key

Doesn't really matter which of the field terminals gets the blue and which gets the green wire, but yes. So you will want to disconnect both wires and make sure neither terminal on the alternator is shorted to ground. If you don't have a multimeter, use a test light with one end on the battery positive terminal and the other end on the alternator terminal to be tested with the alternator on the car; it shouldn't light up (but should light up with one wire on the battery positive and one on the alternator casing).
My blue wire is a double blue wire with this new wiring harness I got.my old harness was single blue wire.one of the blue wires melted.Can convert it back into a single wire again? Do you need double blue wires?
