Jurgen I posted in the other alternator thread (also on my phone). Check out the walkthrough I posted over there.

I seem remember that the smaller wire from the alternator goes up somewhere near the starter solenoid.

It is common,except it's usually on the underside.My truck has it right at the front of the roof under the drip rail.I've seen it on Rangers before.What happened on my truck,is the seam seal dried up and cracked,and over the last few years water has seeped through and rusted the metal out.

ohh ok well it looked good when i got it but it was filled with bodyfiller when i starter sanding then all those showed up and we fixed them

its really a Robin williams vid, the description is wrong... thats what i feel like doing when watching the progress on the truck...
