Re: REALLY need help wiring in a CS-144 alternator

So the current situation is, I have found the problem. The brown and white wire(exciter) was broken right at the ignition switch. I decided I would cut the wire and solder it back together. I had initially planned on just running a new wire. There was plenty of brown wire to just pull up. Silver solder wouldn't even stick so against my better judgement, I just crimped the wire and so far everything is working.
