My alternator quit charging

Close to 12v like I already said. With key off.

Yes, key off.

Ok I am at work, so will do afterwards. I think I had checked voltage on the y/w wire and have voltage there. But don't recall getting any at that point, but will test again and let you know. Thank you for responding so quickly.

Ok, pwr at y/ w constant. No power at g/ r wire when on. Next?

Ok, more questions. What is the green/red wire doing exactly? Does it signal the alternator to charge the battery? Is there a way that I could temporarily supply voltage to that wire to bypass the short for now. Would that allow the alternator to at least charge the battery? This is the only vehicle I have and until the weekend, I don't have time to find the problem area. If I could bypass it by cutting it somewhere and resupplying voltage from another source, where would be a good spot to connect it to? Thanks so much for your knowledge. I am definitely starting to see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Alright, yeah, I don't like "rigging" things either. But if it will atleast charge my battery until the weekend that will be awesome! I'm thinking that I could cut the green/red wire under the hood at an easy access point for now and connect it to a point in the fuse box that is "keyed" power. So, if I am understanding correctly, I need to supply voltage through that wire to the alternator?

Thank you very much! I can't tell you what a help you have been! I will proceed with the "rig" for now and take care of it the right way this weekend when I am off work. Hopefully it won't be too bad to find the "real" issue and get it resolved. You've been awesome!

Just to let you know. It is now charging. And the weird thing is that the oil gauge is working but no others. Not sure about that, but all is good for now. Thanks again!
