I am converting to a CS130 alternator with indicator lights on dash, not gauges. Am I able to splice into the 20 ga "L" terminal wire and use it as a trigger for a switched ignition on relay at the same time? I think this should work, but don't want to mess up the way the dash light works. I could run a separate wire, but this would be easier.
