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

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?
