Hey,
I know this has been asked a lot from looking in the search but I am having issues with the alternator. I have a standard pinto engine with a standard ford alternator it seems. When starting the engine the voltage didn't change and the charge light on the dash never came on. As I didn't know the history of the alternator I got a new one bit it does the same thing.
I tried connecting B+ (didn't have a switched live nearby) to W no change again.
I tried bridging the B+ to the blue wire that goes to the dash light and that makes the dash light come on and the alternator works, get 14+ volts. The charge light stays on all the time.
Connecting the terminals in yellow worked and connecting the ones in red did not.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
