Quick, dumb question......

[Palerider957]

I have been doing a ton of rewiring after a pretty bad short did a lot of damage. I am left with what I am pretty sure is the AC GENERATOR LEAD WIRE.

This wire is red and comes off of the fuse box heading forward. I can't figure where it attaches to? I don't see any orphaned connections near where the generator is, can anyone help???

Thanks.

That is one wire you should orphan. It's an out and back loop going from the stator to the hand control switch for the head lamp, and then back. Resistance builds up in that loop of wire and causes the harness to try.

Wire your stator wires directly into your R/R. Keep the wires as short as possible and use new spade terminals. Output for your R/R should have a solid ground, the factory wiring has very poor grounding for the R/R so please fix that (most people run the ground to both the frame and to the battery).

Hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks so much for your reply! I have been wracking my brains trying to figure out what to do with this wire and the other issues I have had.

I really appreciate your help.
