alt. wont charge 500 ohm dash resistor?

yup it was the connector! im so glad its fixed but i cant believe i ripped apart the dash thinkin there was somethin wrong with the circuit on the back of the instrument panel. ive learned in the past to always check the basics first , but i still find my self thinkin the problem is more complex. lol, but thanks again for all the help!

Good to hear. Basics is always where it's at. I've rarely found the need to tear things apart too much if you kow how to trouble shoot and have the right tools.
