Can I wire the Gen Light directly to the Gen "A" terminal?

[Basket Case]

The generator light on my 76 Ironhead hasn’t worked since Day 1. I thought the light was burned out, but I took apart the headlight this weekend to check it out, and surprisingly the gen light is not burned out. There is an orange wire going to one side, which has power with the ignition key turned on. There is a tan wire going from the other side of the gen light, which disappears under the gas tank somewhere. I have no idea where it ends up, but it appears to be “cut” somewhere along the way. According to the manual, this tan wire is supposed to go back to the Gen terminal on the voltage regulator. It does not.

The voltage regulator is solid state. I took it off too to check it out. It has the green wire going to the “F” terminal on the generator and a tan wire going to the “A” terminal. A third red wire is the battery wire. Since the regulator is solid state, there really isn’t a “terminal” on the regulator - just the 3 wires coming out of the regulator.

Somehow I need to splice in another tan wire from the “Gen terminal” on the regulator and run it to the generator light. My question is this: Can I splice that tan wire in anywhere along that existing tan wire that goes to the generator “A” terminal? If I could, the easiest and closest place to the generator light would be to just run another tan wire from the generator “A” terminal right to the generator light. Does that make sense?

Thanks

According to my schematics, that is where the wire ends up, at the "A" term. on the Generator. Sooo, what I would do is to splice a new tan wire from the gen. light & connect it to the "A" terminal on the Gen.
