Check all the fuses below if okay start testing the wires/connectors for looseness, open and short circuit

The first pic was with everything off only the key was turned on not started. The second picture was with the truck running and the head lights on.

The alternator doesn't appear to be charging. With the engine running and only the headlights on, it should be over 13V.

On the alternator, you will see an orange wire with a light blue tracer. Follow it. It should lead to an inline fuse. Check that fuse.

See the attached pic.

Let me know what you find.
