I had a new under dash wiring, but the engine side was older. I am just gonna go ahead and buy brand new engine side harnesses.

Ok after extensive searching and literally unraveling the electrical tape from the entire charging system circuit i found the god damn culprit and some other unrelated deplorable attachments. Unreal someone would do this instead of purchasing a new connecting harness like why!? The alternator...

This is my battery charger

Dome light bulb is dead or bot working havent got to that yet, no trunk light, and the only think light wise that doesnt work is the instrument panel light dimmer switch which controls lights, i posted you my phone number as well

@67Dart273 now im in the weeds looking at drops and all sorts of crap i didnt know i had which im glad i found a 1 volt drop somewhere inside my dash/fuse block the witch hunt continues

So i did exact this to start and jumped green field wire and alternator kicked on and started charging the battery and was at 13.87 successful which told me the alternator is working

@Mattax thank you for all this info it really helps me put this together. Based on your large reply i do believe something is up with battery alone. The charger say 100 percent at it finishes at 12.2 then drops, under multiple circumstances i cant get the battery to stay in 12’s at any point. So...

These are great points will change battery as well from another car and see if it continues i didn't check the run wire in bulkhead will look at that too the connector to VR seems good and tight

I do think I have an issue with my battery though. It’s only a 2024 but the previous owner didn’t use the vehicle much so I don’t believe especially with this charging problem and not using it enough. I’m unable to keep a charge at 12 V overnight it drops in the high 11’s. So I’m kind of...

So i just did some extra tests. I disconnected the ammeter wires and married them together turned lights on and same result, 1 point drop 11.7 to 10.4 so from the interior bulkhead connector all the way to the back of the alternator. I checked all the other junctions in photo above except...

Fyi i just got the car so trying to work the kinks, the dimmer switch i believe is shot as well needing replacement

Will do some more digging on Saturday with these extra suggestions thanks a bunch this is helping me narrow this down

Im thinking my ammeter is the culprit evwrything is good up until i get to the post, when i get to the red post on back of ammeter thats where i get the big drop from 11.8 to 10.30 giving me a 1.5v drop

Ok i just went out and started from the battery, battery with lights on 11.80, checked connection at starter relay 11.80, the checked the fire wall side bulkhead red 11.8. Next i checked the red connected post at back of ammeter and the result was 10.30. Is that ok or not ok thats the first...

I tested the two points the battery terminal and the alternator batt post was waiting for reply to see if the drop from comment #19 was considered normal drop or a problem
