I had a phantom draw that was killing my batteries which I narrowed down to a plug that goes into the alternator housing. It's the same plug that houses the oil sensor and neutral switches on the 81/82 sj (thanks for the color diagram jayel )
When I plug and unplug this connection I get a spark on the green and brown wires, which seem to be live even with the key off.
Last thursday, while riding home from work, I lost the left cylinder (no spark, but coil is good when swapped to the other side), burnt headlight bulb, and a burnt taillight/stop light. All fuses are still good
Does anyone know what those two wires go to in the alternator housing ( I boxed in the part on the pic) My guess is that whatever it is, it's sucking the battery juice, took out the regulator and sent a fireball and fried the lights and possibly the cdi, since it's not sending a signal to the left coil....
Am I on the right track here
