hey, ive got a 95 wrangler with a charging problem. i swapped out the alt but no good. i took the new alt out and had it tested and it tested fine.. i then checked all the charging wires and fuses and lights.. the check engine bulb was missing (how odd *sarcasm) i put a new one in and guess what?? the check engine light came on!! well great. i did key turn thing and it flashed a 41. the field circuit generator code... i check the continuity on the wires the manual indicates.. they are fine. great now im thinking i need a pcm. i asked around and someone said i could bypass the pcm and hook up an older voltage regulator out of an old pick up (i got new one for a 77 ram charger) my problem is i dont quite now how to do this... im not real knowledgeable about electronics but im a fast leaner.. would anyone mind giving me a rundown on what wires go where? do i need to take the alt apart? am i going about this the wrong way, would it be easier to fix the problem another way.. any help would be great oh and im not worried about the check engine light staying on we dont have smog checks here.. thnx again jay
