yes,
I finally figured out that a previous mechanix? screwed the pooch....
that wire does not have continuity to the Central Junction Box / CJB.
so, what I did was to get a Add-a-Fuse-Tap-adapter and slip it over F2-45 and run a New Wire to the "I" terminal on the Alternator.
( that is the 4th fuse, from the Right side of the CJB bottom row. )
now, the Alternator is energized as soon as the key is ON, but as it is not turning, the alternator does not output anything.
at first, I was worried about applying over-voltage to the Glow Plugs after the Engine starts.....
so I just changed my habits on starting the truck....
I watch the Power Point DVM real close, and when I see the voltage start to climb back up by about 2/10ths of a volt, I hit the starter.... that means the glow plugs are now off...
been that way now ever since I figured out the problem.
if you look at the top right, F2-45 is noted there.
Follow that mess of stuff Vertically down, and eventually, you see that it will feed the 'I' terminal on the Alternator.
what I did, was just bypass all of that, because my wiring harness is messed up....
I tried to find the "open" in that lead, but with it going through so much stuff, and with it getting buried inside the harness insulation, and wire loom, I was not about to start exposing every wire in the harness and the sticking a "prod" into the insulation to see where the break is.
Thank you for the quick response and great informaiton. I will have to try this as a temporary solution until I can find the time to track the wiring under the dash. I have already traced and confirmed the wiring under the hood to the firewall.

Betcha will never get around to " finding the time " to fix it....
this idea just plain works.
