Re: Charging problems w/ 91 Lumina 3.1L...long

Here's a good question. Replacing the module that connects to the alternator and it has three wires two 18 gauge wires and one 12 gauge wire while the old unit only had the two 18 gauge wires. For the life of me I can not find a corresponding 12 gauge wire that would connect to the one on the new module. So do I need the 12 guage wire or not and if I do where the hell is it supposed to connect to.

So I got everything hooked up and rewired that looked bad and tightend down everything else and still the same problem.

Charged the battery and started the car. Wipers work slower than usuall, fan works about the same, and the radio is the radio. Turn on the lights and they are dim and they will dim the interior lights as well.

Here is a picture of the extra wires and the mystery wires.
