A long time ago I upgraded my alternator to a 3G and never connected the ammeter to it because I didn't really know how. My Painless Wiring harness has a large yellow wire that runs from the alternator into the dash and loops through the ammeter gauge to read the current. That yellow wire has been disconnected in the engine compartment for years now with no issues. Yesterday I got bored and decided to remove the yellow wire to tidy up under the hood. I pulled it back to almost the fuse panel and then got cold and stopped messing with it.
This morning I looked at the Painless manual to see if I could figure out where the wire goes to remove it and saw this:
One end of mine has been loose for years with no charging issues at all. Does anyone know how to remove that wire and keep everything working (except the ammeter, I'll convert to a voltmeter)?

The 2 wires of the AMMETER must be connected even if an AMMETER is not being used your charging circuit will not function, and the Painless harness will have no Power if they are not connected.
