Charging system Diagram Needed please
I just got a new alt, new volt reg and new batt. It seems to be a wiring issue as to why my batt is not charging while the truck is running.
I need to know if someone has a diagram on how power gets to and charges the battery so I can check and replace those wires.
I have a 73 f100 custom 4x4, 302, no AC, no radio.

The mechanical motion develops a certain amount of power depending on the load. Ie:ignition, heater motor,headlights,wiper motor,powerful stereo amplifier.
When there is a need for power the Voltage regulator sends a signal to the alternator for more power as it has to disperse more power.
Tests should never be done at engine idle.
VR's don't cut in until about 800 rpm.
I think you need the FTE Electrical forum and talk to Dave.
