Alternator not charging the battery

Hi,

If the new alternator isn't charging, the first thing I recommend is to check the fusible link between the alternator and the battery.

A fusible link, in this case, will look like a traditional wire, but it functions as a fuse. If shorted, it will melt down internally. So here is what to do.

I attached the wiring schematic below for the charging system. I highlighted the fusible link. Disconnect the battery first and then check for continuity between the black wire with an orange tracer and the positive battery terminal (not the battery).

Here is a link that you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
