I have replaced the alternator and checked all connections but still not getting any charge to the battery or instrument panel. I am not very good with a voltmeter and don't really know what to look for. I checked the belt and pulled the instrument panel out ( lost half the screws ) and still can't get power. I disconnected the ground while it was running and it stalled. Earlier, I was getting fluctuating power to the tach but now I don't get anything. Help!!!
Check fuses?
Yes
I checked the fuse for the tach and was good but after your comment i pulled and checked every fuse and the signal light fuse was blown I replaced it and voila- system is charging and gauges all working! Who would of thunk. Thanks for your help.
They have things tied togeather that have no relationship
A great deal of fuses are multi function but they only indicate primary on the markings. Need to get a service manual with a wiring diagram, saves guesswork.
Whenever I have electrical problem I’ll check all fuses and circuits breakers.
