But you can just resplice them and they work fine.

has anybody followed the red wire all the way to the computer? does anyone have any photos of this. I believe it goes up and around the fuel rails and to the computer. Has anybody ever have any problems with that wire besides right above the alernator?

I've broken every OEM one each time... Especially when they're like ten years old they break like spaghetti, usually by the pigtail connector... It doesn't help that it's taut with no slack OEM.
I always resplice them with a new connector and plenty of slack so that they can't break next time I remove the alternator.

I'm not sure if it is damaged somewere else, my power steering pump was leaking power steering fluid onto the alternator and onto that pigtail so it may have been damaged. I changed the alternator 2 and had the voltage checked on the battery and I am not getting recharged by the alternator. This was a new pigtail because I just put a new forged short block in and just had the car tunned. So could the power steering fluid caused the pigtail to go bad and is there a way to test that wire with a meter? and if there is does anyone know what terminal it is.

To test it you'll have to start the engine, because I believe the signal is sent to the alternator AFTER the engine is started, not when the key is just turned forward to "on".

The red wire seems to go into the same harness, might not seem much, but everylittle helps.

are you talking about breaking the connector or did the wire come out of the connector?
