ok, we need to know exactly where you're "jumpering" to and from - as mentioned above. Pictures are best, but a good description will suffice.
Is this the light green/red wire from the voltage regulator? That goes to the battery light in the instrument cluster, so probably not. I'd say it's probably the dark green wire that connects to the black/orange wire that runs from the alt. The black/orange wire is what brings the power from the alt to the battery; the green wire that it connects into is a 14ga fusible link, which then connects to the starter relay.
If it's this dark green fusible link you're "jumpering," then you simply have a melted fusible link. Replace it with 14ga fusible link - you can get it at the auto parts store for a couple bucks; color doesn't matter, but make sure it's 14ga and fusible link wire! You also may want to figure out why exactly it's bad if that is indeed the problem. Mine was visually noticable - old, broken wire - the problem was obvious.
Post back w/ pictures or a description of the wire you're jumpering or any other problems/symptoms if I didn't get it there.
PS...sorry, I answered this last night, but stangnet kept asking me to sign in when I was already signed in; restarted this morning after work (3rd shift) and now we're good to go.
BTW, go to that link posted above and save all of the diagrams to your hard drive. They're very helpful; sometimes easier to check 'em out on a pc screen than flipping through pages of a manual.
