Quavion, you're amazing! Some super combination of an angel bringing blessings to the needy, a sage making complexity understandable to the simpletons, an artist creating a masterpiece and a good guy. Thank you!
I should have mentioned that the alternator/battery wiring is for the very late cars with this kind of plug near the rear left hand strut... Image Unavailable, Please Login ... not a circular plug like this: Image Unavailable, Please Login
The wiring diagrams don't really show which wire does what, but here is the diagram anyway. https://www.dropbox.com/t/ezmzctxHfnh3VhWp It may not be applicable to a Spider if you have one.
thanks!! Yes, it's a 348 Spider. The car has been sitting for 20 years, and none of the mirrors work... perhaps the motors, the wiring, or most likely the switch.
Assuming the wipers and brake lights work, I would check for 12 volts power on the blue/black wire (from fuse #6).
