    I believe the plugs are 2 wire so what wire in the plug has the power that turns the alt on or let's it know when to charge

    3 wires at the plug:
    White is constant power from the ALT-S Fuse 7.5A
    Red is ignition power from the Gauge fuse 10A
    Yellow is for the charge warning light powered by the IGN Fuse 7.5A, alternator grounds this wire to turn the light on.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    3 wires for a stock set up plus the wire to the fuse block for the alternator output

    With the engine running output is always enabled The Internal Solid state voltage regulator keeps the output within spec.
