So far this is what I seem to see. That coon I took it apart and tried to tighten the conns. No wire breaks when the wire is disconnected. I had my ohm meter on the brn wire solid. I was finding variances when I moved the conn before. Now I have 12 bqack on the brn wire. Any other suggestions.

Could be a bad connector, most of those can be taken apart and repaired.

Here's what I found. I did take the conn apart. I don't have the square Molex con tool, I have every other but that. So, I was able to tighten it up better, to where it wouldn't change. Remount alt and ran the light to the brn wire and hooked into by my fuse block I have 2 ign ports. Used one of them and made sure all electrical cons were soldered. So far were charging now. I'm going to keep my eye on it for now. Anything changes I'll let you know. Thanks. Great site.

It should keep working, you basically just added the dummy light back to the system. Let us know if anything changes. Good to hear it's working.
