3g swap didnt work as planned.

[Buffetkiller]

I did the swap following the picture. The battery still wont charge. So my battery light is known to not work on start up. I did hook up the i from the alternator to the green and purple wire going to the cab. Can i hook the I from the ALT to ignition like some diagrams say? I wanted to check with some guys with knowledge before doing this

Run battery power to the I terminal and test output voltage.

There's a very detailed thread that was posted recently that goes through some testing scenarios.

The link to the wiring diagram in this thread is too old! does anyone out there have personal experiance with these?

Dun dun dun

run it this way.
I just did that swap and zero issues.
also the heavy positive lead, I run straight to the battery or the starter lug.

That's how to wire it. If his charge light is not providing voltage, the alternator won't charge.

Ok thanks for the diagrams. Wasn't sure if the diagram i was reading was correct or not. Is there any keyed power near the starter solenoid or GP solenoid? I was probing around and only found a couple low voltage wires

What did you do with the old regulator and it's wiring?

Trashed it. Only wire i used was the green and orange going into the main wire harness
