A little while ago I did a dash swap on my 95 GT, and ever since installing the new dash I've had a problem with my charging system. I put in a new battery (didn't help) and I just replaced the alternator, but my car is still not charging the battery. I'm completely lost as to what might be causing the problem at this point; any ideas on where I should turn next? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

You need the battery idiot light to be functional in order for the alternator to excite. Alternatively, run the excite circuit (I on the regulator) through a 500 ohm resistor and connect it to accessory power.
