so today i switched over to a 3G but i am having a problem,

its not charging, i checked all my wiring, everything looks ok, i even replaced the alternator and still nothing,

i ran a 4g cable from, the back of the alternator, to a fuse, which is 175 amps, from there it goes to the solenoid. i also have a ground running from the power steering bracker to the fender

Any help would appreciated, I live in chula vista, if anyone lives close by and could maybe drop by and look at it?

one of the connectors, is that one ok to use?


the connection at the alternator


is this correct?


the connections at the fuse, FUSE IS 175 AMPS



and connection at the solenoid


THANK YOU

Pull your KOER values from each wire on the regulator.

found the problem!!! it was the stupid fuse!!!

what happen was that the 4g wire behind the alt, was hitting the alternator housing and shorting it self, so it blew the fuse, but since i couldnt z inside the fuse i didnt know

it works now, wow what a difference!!! the car performs a lot better!!! lights are brighter, higly recommend doing this wow!!

THANX FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!!!
