Stick with the same question you asked to begin with if you keep starting new questions you make it a lot harder to help you with your problem.When you start a new question i dont get a email alert letting me know when you posted a reply to me.So do you have a multimeter to do some testing?Your going to need one sounds like your missing a power feed or two to the alternator.
