Blue wire detached from alternator and first two tests rerun with NO change.


I reiterate that I have made no change--none, not ever--to the turn signal indicator LED/bulb so if it is installed with the polarity reversed, then for four years it has worked that way until just recently.  Unless someone's been sneaking over to my house at night and messing with my instrument panel, that TSI is exactly as it has always been.


So what's next, the bucket of steam?  I'll try reversing polarity this weekend.  I've heard that can be fun.

If you would be willing to do one more thing, try unhooking the small 
blue wire from the alternator and then run the first 2 test modes again.


The TS indicator is a green led, the HB indicator is normally an 
incandescent bulb with a blue plastic cover. The bulb has no polarity 
but the led needs to be plugged in correctly.
