greetings all.....have replaced the defective alternator and am still tinkering;...as of this moment there is still no charge going to the battery,...which of the relays should i be checking and where specifically are they located..?
grounds are all good, and so far, no open circuit has been located.
(bentley is forthcoming as christmas gift)
"she" started without hesitation after a brief "charging" session,but died shortly after as if it had run out of fuel,..subsequent attempt to restart showed that battery was dead again. ( battery new as of 6mths ago)

your advice would be greatly appreciated...

thanks in advance..!!!!

is this an 85 or so? somewhere in there if the idiot light in the i/panel is broken the system wont charge. does the red light come on when the key is in run?
