I have allready done a search, but i got nada on this subject.

My bettery is simply not charging.
I replaced the alternator, and the ammeter and even the battery. But no juice. The truck will run untill the electronic ingition sucks up whats left, then she dies.


The best guess on my behalf is the ammeter.
My ammeter is out of a late 60's f250, and so is the wiring harness. It only connects to the Bat. and Ground. terminals on the alternator, then there is a female 4 prong connector on the harness split, the ammeter and then a wire to the battery. I dont have the connector attatched to anything. I allways figured it was just an incab-gague thing.

Im currently at a loss here felas. Any info you can toss my way would be great.

That 4 wire connector is for your voltage regulator.. with out it you will never charge..



just reread your post and it sounds like you are missing two wires as well...you should have four wires hooked to the alternator..

Black with orange tracer------ bat terminal
orange with blue tracer-------field terminal
white with black tracer--------stator terminal
black -----------------------------ground on alternator
