    4 alt wires
    « on: May 12, 2009 - 07:54:29 AM »
    Ok, so I have a bill evans wiring harness.....for teh alt it has the wire to the lug and then 3 other wires.....one bronw, one green and one dark blue.....I am using the green and blue as the alt has only two spade connectors.

    What do I do with the brown (3rd) wire?

    wire was there for all cars- the washer switch will not have the push to turn on the pump.- just tape it to the harness to keep it away from other stuff.

    Thanks!   Now, is getting an electric pump then as easy as getting an electric pump equipped washer tank (mine is toast) and the rightswitch? In other words, it is prewired obviously, eh?

    Everything is available new except the wiper switch with the washer function... You will need to aquire that used or NOS...   Tanks & tubing through restoration folks, pump/motor from any parts house.
