I have put a new alternator, voltage regulator, battery and cables, starter. I had a slow turn signal and tried to replace the cans (relays I think) and now I have gone thru 5 new batteries and regulators, replaced wiring harness from alternator to regulator and a wire from battery relay to alternator but I still have a discharge. can anyone explain?

mileage is orginal. The jack has never been used. It drove like a dream prior to the relay????? problem, or whatever. I have checked wires until I am blue in the face so to speak. HELP please

Follow an orange/black wire from alt towards battery look for a 14ga. green fuesable link probably on a pigtail to pos. cable. Test for continuity it can look good buit be blown. I think you will find blown repair and you'll be good.
