Blue exciter wire

Today I jumpered the blue exciter wire to 12 volts from the battery and the alternator was charging. I guess next step is to determine where the issue is. I am going to try a spare gauge cluster first. Any other suggestions? If I have to I'll run a second wire from the alternator to a 12 volt source temporarily. Does anyone know if the exciter wire is 12 volts? Not sure if I'll need to throw a resistor in there.
