Alternator Dummy light wiring
Finished the swap and never really worried about it hooking it up. Now that I'm bored I wanted to get some of the minor things finished.
I'm running an Fbody/Camaro alternator that has 2 wires
-Red
-Blue with brown trace
My harness is now all taped and loomed, so I can't trace them, but I'm assuming the red is the exciter wire.
Anyone know where the blue wire goes?
Alternator charges fine, just wanting to hook up the stock Volvo dummy light.

Edit, this is a reworked truck harness with an fbody alternator plug.
Red is gray on the connector
Blue/black trace is brown on the connector.
Both wires go into the PCM, so how do I work the dummy light into it?

Still hoping for some clarification on this. I think my issue is that I'm running a truck harness with an Fbody PCM. Both alternator wires going into the PCM. Haven't had any issues in almost a year, just want to get the dummy light working again.

Just trying to get as many factory dash lights working as possible now.
