OK what's a good way to test the alternator to temporary make it work?

Check out that thread I sent you. It will show you how to wire up the alt without using the factory harness.

Well Wolfie's right. It seems they've got it set for members only, at least that's what it looks like. I'll see what I can do to get you the info, or just redo the writeup on this forum.

EDIT-- I redid the write-up on here so hopefully it will do some good.

That's the same thing I did! Still no charge? Sounds crazy I know but still not working!

In that case, I'd lean toward the reg being bad. If the alt is good and so is the batt, that's really the only thing in way other than the wiring.

I went through this for days. The voltage is controlled by the computer. Replaced the ECM and the charging system is working properly again.
