check your grounds first and formost, then double check your installation on the alternator - that is where the problem originated from right?

yeah it did originate from fixing the alternator

check amperage through your alternator's charging wires, make sure they're not fried. as far as the nothing happens thing goes, it's either grounds or yet another link that's gone bad. also, if you get a short/unwanted ground in your charging circuit (alternator) it'll fry that link every time you try to fix it.

what alternator did you get? i got a 3G alternator (150 amps!) and a 4ga. charging wire from PA performance, and i've had no charging or shorting problems whatsoever.
