Thanks for the video.. Question.. The plug that plugs in the alternator has two wires, one white which is power, the othe smaller wire is yellow with a stripe. It then pig tails out a few inches from the alternator. But, it's just hanging there? The alternator and the battery are brand new, but the alternator isnt charging the battery. Im sure this yellow pigtail wire has something to do with it. I just don't know where it goes. Any help would be appreciated!
That yellow wire connect too a green connector called a diode. It piggybacks onto "if you look at video at startup" the grey harness connector that's directly underneath the power steering reservoir, bracket! The other end of that grey connector has "I think two thicker gauged White Wires with a Blue strip running down them. At least one of those White Wires with Blue strip feeds directly towards the fusebox. That Yellow wire " i think" is what let's alternator charge the battery.
@@rhoadsmatheson2246 let me know how it works out. I would've mentioned exactly what wire that yellow wire piggybacks onto to. But when I first got my d21. I used that cloth type electrical tape. Big mistake on my part. It's incredibly difficult too remove once it's applied.
I have an issue, and I wish I could send you pictures. In my 97 D21, there is a black and green fussible link that comes right off the positive terminal on the battery. They are cut shortly after their connection to the positive terminal and I am having trouble finding where it leads so that I can fix it. I also don't even know if I need them as I bought the truck and it is working perfectly fine.
Yeah. That's the hard part. Finding where the links lead. The newer, 90's d21's have more accessories than my base model ever would. That link could lead to something the truck doesn't need too run or it could lead too something a little more necessary.

Trying to find a throttle body wire harness for an 87 Nissan D21 4cylinder
There's always a few d21's at the several junkyards that I go too. They're mostly from the 90's, tho.
I'm trying to simplify and relocate all that wiring. I have no Idea what any of it is and if it's needed.
It's all needed. All those harnesses, connectors and fusible links feed too and or power other area's.
