Can anyone tell me if the alternator's blue (charging) wire makes an appearance in either of the two fuse/relay boxes in the engine compartment? Or is routed directly into the main wiring harness?

Alternator wiring is part of main wiring harness.

Hi P-daddy
It is high resolution, however, if your display doesn't allow you to zoom in here is a reposting as a PDF:

On the right side of the page is the Alternator, called generator I am not an expert but; the

• blue wire seems to go into the wiring harness. and
• there are no devices it is terminated to in the engine compartment and so no apparent pickup points for the blue wire other than
• at the plug where the engines wires go into the car

I just looked into this doing some alternator troubleshooting. It joins the main harness and ultimately flows through the clock (to power the charge indicator light). The circuit is shared by a whole slew of things and has a 7.5 amp fuse.

One brute force way to find out may be to ground the blue wire, then pull 7.5 amp fuses until the battery light in the clock goes out.

Not certain what blue wire your mentioning have been knee deep in my starting circuit on my '95 cause of a full rewire and presently attempting first start up ..
The red wire from the alternator comes out and goes to the starter where it meets up with the positive battery cable that runs the length of the car and breaks off with two smaller
wires to the ignition and the fuse box .
