Kurtis, I don't own a TR4, but I'm fairly certain it's similar to the TR3 in
this area.  The wires to the generator are in a completely separate
sub-harness (just two wires wrapped together) and do not connect to the main
harness.  The generator wires connect only to the D and F terminals on the
control box, and the D and F terminals on the generator.

Thus, the wire from the warning light (which does run through the main
harness) is a separate wire, and they are joined only at the D terminal on
the control box.

I'd be more curious about how your generator is connected into the circuit,
since you apparently don't see the sub-harness to the generator.
