Re: OUT OF MY WITS END

you should run by a battery shop and let them check the charging system real quick its free at the shop i go to and it only take a minute to do i run vehicles by them all the time

anyways i bet its something minor

make sure the red wires are ending up at the battery also

if youre not sure they do then run a wire the same size from the positive post to the red wires on the alt

is the charge light on ?

the brown wire should simply run from the alt and into the car main bulkhead connector

usually the brown wire runs first to the courtesy panel under the dash, to one of those relays

in alot of cases, but not always

if there is a problem with that panel then that may be it

good luck
