Help please,
Background...(1982 Vette) driving home the other evening and lights started getting dim, barely made it home. Charged battery and tested Alt. Not charging. Battery took charge. Removed Alt and took to Autozone, tested fine. It seems I have done something that is not allowing the alternator to charge correctly. Just prior to this I started replacing gauges with aftermarket types, I did short a piece of the gauge backing/strip. Possible the problem but plan on eliminating the backing. Other things to consider, power at back of alt to battery (screw), Two wire plug - Power at red wire, no power on brown (believe this the problem). Not quite sure what or where the brown wire goes. Anyone out there have a suggestion?
