Hi,

I attached the wiring schematic for this vehicle's charging system. There is a fusible link between the B terminal on the alternator (white wire) and the battery. Check to see if there is continuity at that wire.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
