Looks like it has some useful warning functions built in - overvoltage, open circuit, low output etc. John I brought my alternator to our local alternator rebuilder, who put new bearings in in, cleaned it up, and tested it. I had the same question for him regarding the wires. If you send a picture of your alternator, I will compare it to my alternator. If it appears the same, I can point out which is the idiot light, and which is the field. P.S. I was also told that if I run the alternator without the idiot light circuit connected, that I would probably trash the alternator. For what it's worth.
