1. I am looking at page EL-25 in the FSM and the alternator has 4 wires...

- The black wire goes to ground
- Big white wire goes through a fusible link (75a I believe) and to the battery +
- The smaller white wire on the plug connects to the bigger white wire before the fuse box
- Finally a white/red wire runs through the SMJ, through the charge light on the dash, and gets power from the 10A ignition fuse in the driver's kick panel fuse (whenever key is in ignition on or start)

So unless the signal from IGN on through the check bulb is also switching the alternator on somehow, my wiring method should make sense. Basically I don't understand fully what the purpose of the white/red wire is other than the check lamp.

2. As for headlight I considered that, but I don't want to use a momentary switch as it is an easy way out and there has to be an easy way to do it automaticalyl with a single switch and relays...

Thanks for taking a stab at it, I always appreciate any help
