Del Help! Cuda not Charging

You are bypassing the regulator. Reason I had you unplug is to ID which field wire is which. So it really doesn't matter for this test.

Let me continue

If it charges in the first test, above, next,

"Rig" a way to jumper across the VR harness connector terminals. Use machine screws, whatever will fit the connector

Now disconnect the first field wire you had connected, and connect the one you had hanging, again, grounding the remaining field terminal

This is actually a repeat of the first test, but using a different part of the wiring harness.

If this shows a good charge.......

Scrape and clean around the VR and make darn sure it's grounded. "Wiggle" the VR connector. If it will not charge replace the VR.
