So, what's your biggest dummy moment??

I had a fender mounted solenoid go out on my bronco
Swapped it out and sure enough, the battery is no lo get charging
So I figured whatever did in the solenoid also killed the alternator
Pulled it off and took it in to AutoZone to get a new one
I figured since I have it, I might as well have them test it...and the alternator passed

So, home I went and installed the alternator again and now it's time to start tracing and checking wires

Sure enough, I found a hot wire coming from the alternator that should go to the hot post of the solenoid...laying on the fender
I guess I missed that one when I replaced the solenoid
