The stack cluster doesn't use any of the factory wiring, so the connectors for the factory cluster are just unplugged and left hanging.

long story short, the exciter from the cluster is NOT the only way to trigger the alternator. (I've had this stack cluster on 3 s13s now, same result on all 3 cars)
HMMM this is new to me. So you've been running that stack cluster and the wire that runs from the alternator to the stock cluster is connected to nothing?
