Broken wire on front of alternator
« on: 20 August 2009, 16:45 »
I have a broken single wire that goes to a plug connector on the front of the alternator.

Car is a 16v Mk3.

Does anyone know what the wire is for?

Cheers

Thanks. Yes it was blue but with a black outer cover.

Found out it was for the battery warning light and reconnected it. Didn't realise it would stop it charging properly.

Thanks again for the info.
