    i've had the same alternator for 5 years,
    just gutted the dash of wiring.
    currently from connector=
    #1 red wire to B+post on Alt.
    #3 blue wire to dash light
    not sure how to wire with out a dash light.. i research and get confused..

    i see painless uses #2 and #3 wires with a resistor

    Thanks!

    I would call then to double check, but it seems that the 15 ohm 2 watt resistor is only there to take the place of what the Alt wants to see to function properly when the bulb is not there.

    PS.
    If you are going to install that resistor in the engine compartment I would up its rating to 5 watts, it will still cost you less then a buck, in fact shipping will cost 5 times as much, lol!

    If you use crimp connectors on the resistors steel leads then do not crimp them on, solder them on please.
