Sooo.. the short story is I relocated my alternator and im not getting any voltage out of the alternator. The idiot light also does not turn on.
I verified continuity from the B terminal to the 80 amp fuse then all the way to the battery itself.
I then verified ground continuity from alternator body to block and then the battery directly.
2nd guessing myself I made a temp ground from alternator body direct to negative batt. Terminal.
This leads me to think the 2 wires in the plug may have got flipped when I extended them. Is there an easy way to test this? Continuity or voltage? One of them "should" trigger the warning lamp id think.
There is no reason my alternator should have died just by relocating... its clean and never seen oil.
Im willing to admit I may have had a brain fart
