Just a quick note=E2=80=94is the charging light on brightly when you =
turn the key.  The initial flow through the field of the alternator goes =
through the light.  If you have a burnt out bulb or the wrong one, you =
cannot get initial field current.  If you do not get the initial field =
current the alternator will not work.

Had the same issue with mine. Follow the brown wire from the alternator =
through the firewall. The insulation may have worn through and grounded, =
or there's a connection issue under the dash. There's also a black wire =
that grounds through one of the threaded gauge mounts, the ones with the =
serrated nuts. That was my issue, it had worked itself loose.

Good luck,

   Here=E2=80=99s a synopsis =E2=80=93 Almost new battery went dead. =
Charged battery and took car to shop. Meter shows alternator is not =
charging battery (only 12 volts, not 14.6 as per Dan Master=E2=80=99s =
book). Buy rebuilt alternator and the same thing happens.  Swap =
alternator for a second rebuilt unit =E2=80=93 same thing, battery is =
not being charged. Tried 3 different meters =E2=80=93 all showed 12 =
volts.  Hard to believe I got 2 bad rebuilt alternators.  What=E2=80=99s =
wrong??
