Dex,

The fan relay shouldn't have a direct impact on the alternator charging. It's more likely you disturbed some other wiring in the process of installing the control or removing the relay.

That large (usually red, sometimes black) wire from the alternator output stud is connected to the battery positive lead via a fusible link.

IIRC, the two wire connector to the regulator has a red wire connected at the starter (or other positive power node) and another wire to and ignition circuit (switched by ignition).

You would think that the fan would have nothing to do with the altenator but guess what with a blown fan fuse altenator will NOT charge just doesnt seem right:lala:
