No. If the alternator is "excited" the first time (either by the
blue wire or by reving it high) it will excite itself. No need
for the blue wire anymore. Simple question: Is your battery
idiot ligt illuminating when you swith the iginition on? If the
bulb is burnt, the symptoms are the same as for a lost blue wire.


So long!
