The little socket (that holds the charge light bulb) plugs into the back of he cluster and rotates to lock. Well, I had to rotate the socket to somewhere in between "full lock" and "full unlock" to get the charge light to come on reliably.

Perhaps this is the same issue that caused the PO to bypass the blue wire in the fist place?
The next time I pull the console I'll check it. Do you know if it is just a straight battery to bulb to alternator connection? Or is there a diode or other circuitry in the mix? I have not been able to find it on a schematic.
