Re: alternater - replaced everything

Check to see that the "field" is energized when the ignition switch is on.
If this circuit is not energized it will not charge.
could be a blown fuse in the panel or a fuseable link. also bad instrument voltage gauge in dash can cause this to happen too

3 wires on alternator
one tells voltage regulator the actual voltage in the battery
another is the "field" wired from the ignition circuit
the large red is the out put

When charging properly voltage should read between 13.5 to 14.5 volts
