Find out if the alternator wiring has the correct voltages.
The heavier red wire goes to the positive stud, and should have power at all times.
The thinner red wire goes to terminal S (the sensing circuit) and should have power at all times.
The brown wire goes to terminal F (the turn-on input) and should have power when the key is in the RUN position.

Re: my car wont charge
uhm to my knowledge there is no red wire on my firebird, its a v6 but it does have a black ground on the back, is this maybe why it keeps frying alternators?
