"One of the wires sole purpose is to light the dash indicators when the engine is not running."

You actually have it backwards...or sideways. The small red wire's job is to provide exciter voltage to the alternator and a charge warning light to the dash...It just so happens that almost all the other dash warning lights are powered by that same 12V signal.
