Voltage Regulator Wiring

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-Jul-02 AT 06:09 PM (EST)]Ok guys I fixed my horn now on to the voltage regulator. There are four connections on it labeled "I", "A", "S", "F". It has "WELLS" printed on top. The wires coming from it are as follows:
"I"- No wire currently.
"A"- Yellow to Alternator. Also another wire that runs to what looks like a ballast resistor.
"S"- Green/Red Stripe. Goes inside the cab to somewhere.
"F"- Orange to Alternator.

My questions are. What is supposed to be on "I" and where inside the cab does the green/red stripe wire supposed to go to.

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure that connector has been blank on every reg I've seen.

The green/red stripe goes to the ignition switch, it turns the charging system on when the key is on.
If you have an ammeter nothing is on the "I" terminal. If you have the idiot light on the dash the green/red wire goes to the "I" terminal.
The ballast resistor is actually a capacitor to reduce noise on the radio.
