The alternator is good but it won't charge my battery. I determined the alternator was not getting input to excite the stator. My ignition switch is good and I have continuity from the switch to the altenator plug. Puzzling. I was thinking that I could tap into a "keyed hot" wire in the engine compartment, use a 15A inline fuse and plug it into the alternator. It looks like a 18ga wire at the altenator. Any thoughts?
vehicle info: 79 desmogged FJ40. The altenator is a two wire with the regulator on top. The white/blue goes to the battery et al and the black/yellow comes from the switch.
