THe light bulb needed to be connected so that the terminals on the light bulb were not connected to ground. This means that one of the connections goes to the ignition from the on off switch, and the other goes to the #1 terminal. [/quote
That must have been the problem. I had connected the #1 wire from alternator to terminal on light and a short jumper from the same terminal on light to the ignition. I connected the coil wire to the same side of the ignition as the jumper from light. (Duh,
Competing the circuit for the coil) The other side of light was running to negative ground. The other side of ignition was hooked to ammeter.
So the light does not need a ground? #1 in on one side of light, #1 out on other side of light to ignition. Coil wire on same terminal as #1 on ignition and other side of ignition to ammeter.
Question: I am currently only using the "B" wire from alternator and the tractor is running and shutting off as it should. Which is the better setup: one wire or three wires from alternator?
