You only need to use the one small wire for the warning light, (same colour as normal brown/yellow), the other one is for idle
changes with PAS like on the KV6 engine with the PAS pressure sensor.
The other thick cable is as normal, linked to the starter pos or direct to the battery pos.
if your light isn't coming on, check volts when running, ballpark figure is 13.8v to 14.2v is good.
If it is charging, check bulb and/or bulb holder connector contacts in the back of the dash.
