5.0 Charging Nightmare
 

Okay My roomate bought a 1983 GT with a 5.0 and a 5speed. There is no charge at the battery with the car running. I have replaced the alternator already and there is still no charge. Does anybody have a wiring diagram that they can scan? The wiring harness on this car has been hacked and mutilated. So I figure that would be the first place to start. Any helpful advice or diagrams would be great.

try changing the selinoid i had that same problem

:stupid:

thats shoulda been the first thing you shoulda tried, cheapest... (spl solenoid)

Yah... Could also be a bad battery... try the solenoid first though

if the car starts its not the solonoid

oh... duh... i mis read...

ok...

go get a book at pepboys or where ever... they should have a wiring diagram... its either that or the battery...

im saying it might be the solenoid because the same thing happend to me

Checked the battery and the solnoid all of it checks good. I did find a wire off of the back of the alternator that lead to nothing. It's a green wire that has a end on it like the starter signal wire. I will try to post pictures later. I still would love to find a wiring diagram if anybody has one they can scan in would be great. Nobody has a chiltons or anything locally it would take 3days to get one and I need this car running now.

idk bud... try google or yahoo or whatever...

check the battery connections... clean the terminals... IDK what else it could be... you may have to push it... lol..
