Did some searching, did some work. Dont know what the issue is.
My charge warning light *battery* is on. Batterys are not charging, but arent losing charge. HOWEVER i can run and drive it in the daytime without issue. Its raining tonight, trying to head back to the travel trailer, and Headlights + wipers = turning off fuel to motor. Cant go without either in the pouring rain. I have checked all the ground wires, all the connectors. It seems the alternator is putting out just enough juice to keep the truck running as long as the load is minimal.
During my work trying to isolate the problem, i found a random stud with a nut on top of the alternator. its REALLY lose, dont look like a wire goes on it, cant seem to locate it on any pictures on a truck. I went to advanced auto website and it shows the stud, and on one alt its labeled as *ground* but i dont remember a wire ever being on it, and my maglight is dying. is there for sure a wire im missing that slipped off maybe? was beating it a bit to get it on the side of the ravein hauling 7 people and a welding setup + hauling 500 gallons of off road diesel for our equipment, im thinking i might have knocked something loose. Is there a wire on there that i should have? hopefully someone can get back on this quick, if so i can manage to get this fixed and NOT have to sleep in my bronco, in the rain!
The motor is from a 90 F250. its NA, and the alternator is a reman with about 1300 miles on it *switched it when i did the swap, cant remember if i ever had a wire on it.... Driveworks brand.
