>>Ahhh, I got it now. The brown wire itself is the resistor for my application.<<
NO, NO, NO.
The brown wire in VetteVet's image is just a copper wire. The under dash harness on the inside of the firewall, that the brown wire connects to is where you will find the resistance wire. BUT, as I said in my other post;
>>
goes to the idiot lamp and to the ignition switch. That wire going to the ignition switch is actually a resistor wire, not a free-standing resistor component. That resistance wire is in the harness, whether it has a idiot light or an Ammeter gauge.<<
>>The wire on the engine side of the firewall that goes to the regulator is a standard copper wire.<<
