Not a good idea. The alt will charge; but other evil things will happen.

What's the point of hacking on your under-dash harness anyway?

dont realy understand
Doesn't keep it from being the way it works.

Let me pass along a word of wisdom:

Put down your dykes until you DO understand, and just make sure you keep a good bulb in the dash.

the lite means alternator is pushing low volts and or there is an electrical short in the wiring
