Ok guys hate electrical but here's the deal, last night driving home saw voltage was dropping fast managed to get home and alt isn't charging no biggie have a spare

Still not charging so this am get both alts and battery tested all good (battery is 6 months old ). Check everything with meter all checks out still no charge , funny thing is no battery warning light even on ignition , pulled dash apart changed bulb still nothing .

Is there a fuse or relay for the charging system I cannot find anything listed and am dead in the water right now. Thanx guys

Update battery light is now on still not charging
 






Have 12.6 at battery and alt B pillar A wire is showing 6.2 volts alt just isn't turning on so to speak any help is appreciated electrical is my Nemesis
 






try updating your wires. if you have less voltage at the alt than the battery, the wires are probably corroded. Fresh power and ground wires should help
 






Wires look good but will definitely try that tomorrow
 






Update guys it turned to be a chafed wire l the yellow and white from the alt had rubbed and shorted out on the engine block,ran a new wire from plug to fuse link and instantly 14 plus volts
