I am a first time FJ owner and a novice mechanic at the very best, so appreciate any help! I replaced the battery and alternator and found that the alternator is not charging. In going through the wiring, I found that two wires from the headlight are connected to two alternator wires and are all consolidated into one wire (4 into 1 - see attached pic), which runs up into the pig tail connector to the alternator (with a second wire). The wires in the plug are registering 0 volts on the multimeter. The headlight works (so maybe the disconnect is at the plug to the alternator).
Any thoughts on where to go from here? Does anyone know where the headlight wires are supposed to be routed to free up the three single alternator wires? It seems there is probably still a short somewhere (maybe in the plug), as the plug is not registering on the multimeter at all, as is.
Any and all help is appreciated!
