Altenator not charging the battery

Hey guys check this out, 3 new altenators, 2 new batteries, and still no charge, I also checked all of the fuses and they are fine, also taped into the alt wires with a voltage meter and they all get power from the car, what else can this be, this has been going on for months now and I need this resolved, thanks in advance for any help.

Is that the one big wire that hooks up to the altenator??? or is it the two small wires, I didnt think that is an issue because I see that the alt is getting power.

Black cable w/orange stripe. Check the plug in your alternator and make sure all wires are making through the plug. One of my wires disconnected from the pin and it was not making contact with the alt pin.

Now that Im thinking, it has to be the fusible link, because I thought there wasnt much to a charging system, my wife took it to sears and they told her that it was the ignition cylinder, when we put the key in the ignition, it is really loose, but I didnt think that would have anything to do with the charging system.

It shouldn't cause that problem cuz mine spins 360 w/o the key and won't start w/o it in. Are your alts going bad or are you just trying new ones everytime?

Have three stangs, took two from my other and they all do the same thing, since the other two have v6, or came with a v6, thought that maybe the alts amps were different, so went and bought a new one, and they all do the same thing.

You mean the battery just dies and the alt is generating power?
You may have a slow drain somewhere b/c even if the alt is in perfect shape it will not be able to charge a completely drained battery. What misc power stuff have you added to your car i.e foglights, amps, stereo euipment, etc..?

none, just an mp3 player, and it was doing this before I put it in, I drive with no acccessiories on, and the battires were brand new, what else can drain a battery.
