I've traced the blue generator field wire into the passenger
compartment/drivers side.Where does the wire get it's power
to energize the gen. field?I can jump voltage and get it to charge.
Thanks T.K. Shields

I it comes from the "alt/battery" light within the inst cluster. If the bulb is burned out you will have your situation. The bulb gets its power from the ignition switch.
