I have a 1992 F250 IDI. Truck has 240k on it, its had a new alternator at some point put on in a while ago. It is the two wire style, with a connector on top that has two pins.
All of a sudden one day my voltage gauge went low and my battery light came on. With the truck running I am reading 12.3 volts, not charging. Someone told me to jump a wire from battery positive to the brown wire going into the alternator. I did that and then it starts charging, I get13.7 volts. So I am assuming that the alternator is is good shape. Maybe the regulator went bad? For some reason the alternator isnt getting the signal to charge? I checked all the fuses inside and under the hood, they are all fine. Any advice? Thanks.
