Interesting Electrical Discovery

[BrentBTK]

When I installed my new engine, it came with a one wire alternator. Because I just wasn't sure, I also connected the brown "alternator" wire from the American Auto wiring harness to the same post. Out of curiosity, I disconnected that small wire today to see if it made a difference. It did not. UNTIL... I shut the truck down and the electric fans that had previously run after it was off no longer do. Apparently the "electric fan" wire in the AAW wiring harness gets its power from that wire. Makes me wonder what else might. Clock still works. I don't think the fans shutting off with the truck are an issue, correct me if I'm wrong. Mechanical fans don't continue to spin...I kinda prefer it this way, honestly.
