I searched but nothing really came up

Car almost died on me the other day

Got home let it cool, started it measured 11.5 volts at the battery and 11.5 at the alt

tightened the belt, no change

Just got a new alternator today.. No change at the battery

Leads me to believe my pigtail is ****ed up .. but upon visual inspection it seemed perfect

Looked up a pigtail on autozone.com .. called and i find they cant get a pigtail ( my *** its on the website but TO pissed to deal with them )

You guys think ive overlooked anything? And if it is the pigtail where can i purchase one?
