    battery level sensor wire. Thats why your battery warning light is on.

    yep, Haynes calls it the battery fluid level sensor. It looks like mine is attached to the + battery terminal....I'm not sure if that's the proper bypass when not using a level sensor...but it seems ok and the warning light stays off.

    Proper way to bypass is to install a 2K resistor in series to the + battery terminal.

    I don't even think it's picky about the resistor. I just did an eliminator for a Venture using a 10K resistor. I wouldn't go with no resistor, just in case it can somehow get enough current to damage the monitor.

    I think RadioShack still sells resistors.

    I started running 2.2kohm and the bat light would still come on with 12V at the battery, so I ditched the resistor and haven't had a problem since.
