Hello all,

I'm continuing to have a very frustrating problem.  A few months ago I fini=
shed working on my 84 4ksq, decided to clean the engine, and in the process=
 created a host of small electrical problems.  The car starts and idles fin=
e, but the battery won't charge.  I've checked and cleaned all the connecti=
ons I could find, changed the voltage regulator (it was old anyway), and ul=
timately swapped-out the entire alternator...to no avail.  In my seemingly =
eternal quest to resolve this ##$$$!! issue I've stumbled across text like:

"Another problem area is the blue wire that provides the field current to t=
erminal 61 (D+ ?) on the alternator. There is a single wire connector for t=
his blue field wire mounted in the engine compartment down by the battery j=
umper post on the frame. On many vehicles, this connector and its terminals=
 has been found to be severely corroded or in some cases the connector has =
come loose, which prevents the alternator from charging"

I have also been told about this possibility.  To the question then...  Whe=
re is the connection in question?  The Bentley isn't that clear in the elec=
trical diagrams...and I'm pulling my hair out.  Could this be one of those =
extremely-obvious-but-easy-to-miss connections?  Any BTDT's?  TIA

Regards,
