Default Charging System Question
Am installing an LS1 engine from an '04 GTO and have a question regarding the altenator wiring. Where does the brown wire go, if to an idiot light does anyone have a circuit schematic?

Thank you

Look in the faq at the top of this forum. It explains how to wire the alt a couple of different ways. With and without pcm control.
