That should be for the second resistor to keep static out of the radio.

It's a capacitor, or 'condenser' if you're old enough to have experience with points ignition systems

Thanks for the ideas but theyre wrong cause the yellow wire is for the radio static capacitor cause it came with the connector for it the regulator pigtail has 4 terminals with a total of 6 wires. One green two yellow two white and one black

I just replaced my voltage regulator connector and I put the two white wires together and soldered them to the original connection from the alternator.
