serious charging problem
so i bough my 91 camaro back late october 2012 and the car ran like a champ up untell about christmas time. the alt cut out and the amps dropped to about 10. the problem is my windows fans and ac dont work when the altenator goes, i have a new battery and a new alt but the problem still occured after hours of "troubleshooting" we found a cluster of wires under the dash that if moved around a bit the altenator would kick back in after a few months of the car running great my altenator cuts out and the car over heats and the cluster of wires dont do anything and im not finding a ground anywhere and my battery and alt are still running at a 14.2 anyone have a damn clue as to what i could do to trouble shoot this problem for the time being or how to possably fix it? if it means anything when i bought the car it had an amp speakerbox and aftermarket touch screen cd/dvd player.

Cluster Buster
Make sure none of those cluster of wires is shorted to anything.
If it looks like a bunch of PO tape entanglement clean that up.
You want all your wires to be supported in a way they can’t rub against metal and short.
Then, the heavier red wire goes from a Fusible Link, to the positive stud, and should have power at all times.
The thinner red wire goes from a different Fusible Link, to terminal S (the sensing circuit) and should have power at all times.
The brown wire goes to terminal F (the turn-on input) from the FAN fuse, and should have power when the key is in the RUN position.
