The wire you're talking about is in fact the one for the Lamp (the lamp bulb itself is an integral part of the charging system) which charges the winding. Using the wrong wattage bulb can cause the light to be on when the car's first started, until the engine is revved enough to power up the winding.
A lamp thats coming on intermittently is an indication of either loose wiring somewhere or brushes on the way out (which is a loose connection come to think of it). As for wiring, It's probably the main power or ground. I doubt it's the wiring to the light (unless the system is really totally dead, and the warning is what's intermittent, doesn't sound like the situation).
