Alternator question
This is one reason I often post the MAD article.......it has a decent simplified diagram:
Catalog
The main power distro goes.............battery.........starter relay.........fuse link.........bulkhead connector (the big red)........ammeter.........through the meter........out on the big black..........to the WELDED SPLICE which is a few inches from the ammeter on the big black............branches off from that and feeds headlights, hot accessory buss, ignition switch,............etc
So if you have NO power there is very little between that and the battery
