Hello, possibilities, faulty alternator, faulty wiring circuit. Make sure the battery has a full charge and all battery connections are clean and tight on both ends. Use a digital multimeter take a reading across battery posts, note the reading. Take another reading at the bat terminal on the alternator, everything turned off, the reading should be real close to the same, if not something wrong with the wiring circuit. There shows to be another wire, L terminal, key on, anything there?
