cut off the the old leads from the idiot lites, I put heat shrink tube over them, except for one that is white with a red stripe, from the wiring diagram in my repair book it seems to run from the voltage regulator and to me seems to be only a ground wire as is the next one beside it which connects into the wiring harness under the dash,from the voltage regulator, this white one is just hanging loose till I find out where it was originally connected to, maybe it was a ground wire for the idiot lites for which there were 3 and only these 3 are now wrapped up with heatshrink and tucked up under the dash, I should have took a pic of these wires before I removed them, but if someone can tell me where this wire connects to, it very well may be the reason my system is not chargin' seein it is connected to the voltage regulator, ......AMPA
