Okay
No gGo?
Look over my 1979 partial diagram (I'm pretty sure the alternator portion is the same on newer diagrams)
The newer diagrams I have are really blurry when I post them, so that's not any help either.
Notice where I "green arrowed" the wires.
It shows a 12 AMP RED 14 fusible link.
If it's shot, replace it with the same size fusible link, cheating and bypassing it might set your Jeep on fire, we don't want that!
Remove your positive battery cable (kills whole Jeep).
With your voltmeter, test for continuity through it.

It may be so obvious that this wire is burned into, or the insulation stretches out like a rubber band because the inner "fuse/ wire" has disintegrated.
I had a "I got worried/ skeered" ordeal from about 6 PM to 10 PM.
I sort of had an "ache" in my heart area (not awful, but different).
I went in and had the ER check me out anyway, it's been about two weeks since the attack (and it felt like indigestion).
Pic 2) I got pulled away from a CJ-7 in need. Is this something bad or just a fart building up?
They finally said everything was fine. Back to the CJ-7!
