my serpentine belt frayed and ripped the wire out of my crank sensor and my battery won't charge, I have thrown parts at it for two weeks. 3 alternators, 1 alternator fuse, 1 asd relay, 1 battery isolator relay, and is still can't get the batteries to charge. I finally found the crank sensor problem after all that and replaced it, but still no charge from the alternator. my tach doesn't work either. I don't know what else to do?

Check fuse no.4 30amp in the PDC if okay and wiring too-Sounds like the problem is coming from the computer field generation driver circuit of the alternator
