Guest Cabbytech Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hmmm, i had a look at a mates mk 4 escort and he has two thicker red wires from the alternator that go to the starter like on Kryss's car and then a thin blue one, cant see any earth wire from this one either.

Guest suffolk04 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 the blue wire is the earth for the battery light, if thats broke, then alternator wont charge battery. the wire goes onto the starter, and runs under the radiator with the rest of the wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
