Back to the charging issue. So when I first got the car running I couldn't find the blue wire the went to the d+ - neg terminal on the alternator, somehow it went missing i remebered pulling of when i pulled my motor but I wasn't worried about that because I couldn't even drive my car because it wasn't insured and the fuel pump went out on me. So one day after I had got my new fuel pump installed I found the stupid wire hiding in the insulation of the red wire with the wire ripped and shorter in length like 6 inches , so I soldered a new wire in , and I installed the connections on my alternator , when I was finished I started the car all the lights on the cluster were on including my park brake that stayed lit when it was disengaged and went brighter when pulled . Also the battery light was on , (new battery) and the brake fuild , abs , brake lining light . I then went and accuired a rebuilt 85$ alternator I installed it and all the lights went off on the dash , thinking my car was charging I drove it around realized the cars lights going dim took it home , and turned it off and turned it back on , no start , so I charged the battery thinking maybe the alternator wasnt working because the battery was to low or something , so I drive over to orielly after it charged and I get my alternator tested , it' read 12.59 volts and the voltage regulator was only putting out 30 amps when it supposed to be putting out over 100
