Hi everyone,
Got up early this morning, and attacked things with the test light, per the instructions in the post below.
I have continuity (test light works) when connected to blue wire connector and red wire (although, I did just stick the lead on the screw where the red wire attaches to alt - that may be a problem). I have ground on blue wire terminal when connected to battery, and when connected to alt body.
When I ground blue wire to alt body, the charge light works, which tells me the circuit is OK. does this indicate a bad alternator, bad battery or both? To me it would say bad alternator, no?
Thanks everyone,
Brian
