Mechanics alt pigtail

[whi tri]

MECHMAN NOT MECHANICS! I am trouble shooting my non charging issue and was trying to rule out the pigtail and somehow managed to pull the 2 wires out of the pigtail that goes into the alt. I really hope my maybe 1k mile alt didn't take a crap but it's looking that way. I have battery voltage at both wires but alt does nothing. And I noticed that my dash light also doesn't come on when you turn the key on.

I had a plug go bad on mine. Went from 13.5-14v to all the sudden 11v. I just took my plug apart and bent the prongs a tick and it now works properly again. This was on a 4g alternator. That should matter.

Yea I'm wondering if I had a plug/pin issue but now I don't know where they go in the plug.

I must say that MECHMAN has great customer service and was more than helpful. My issue was pretty stupid because it was a ground problem. I just had everything powder coated and therefor lost my engine ground to turn on the fieldcoil...... Lesson learned

Op did you end up going with there wire and fuse block upgrade?

No I didn't. I just did 4g to fuse box and 4g ground to sway bar bolt. Along with battery in trunk with 0g and full wire tuck. Sure is a lot of shit to get in the damn fender and tucked up nice and tight and still have the horns in there.
