Will not start

Hi,

For the alternator to charge, it has to have battery voltage. There is a red wire on the alternator that should have 12v at all times. Locate that wire and check for power.

If there is no power, then there is likely a blown fusible link. A fusible link looks like a wire but functions as a fuse. If too much power is drawn through it, if will blow stopping power.

I attached two pics below. They are of the charging system. Note the red wire I highlighted comes straight from the starter motor. It runs through two fusible links (circled), through a current sensor, and then to the alternator. I suspect that is the issue, but we need to check for power at the red wire on the alternator first.

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

Take care,

See pics below. Note: I had to cut the schematic in half to make it readable for you. I did overlap them so you can follow from one to the next.

Hi,

When you applied the brake, you placed an added load to the grounding system. Do me a favor. Check the negative battery cable to make sure it is clean and tight. Also, follow it to the engine block to make sure that the connection is also clean and tight. If there are additional wires from the ground to the body, do the same.

Let me know what you find.
