I changed the battery. My alternator was tested and is ok. I tried another alternator just to check and still no charge to battery. Is there any fuses that I need to check?If so where are they besides being in the fuse box. If it is one in the fuse box I can't find which one it is. Somehow the charge just isn't getting to the battery.The truck is a 00 and all the wires appear to be fine. Any help would be greatly appricated.
 






Voltage regulator or maybe you have a parasidic drain when your car is off?
 






I was also thinking voltage regulator but I was told the voltage regulator is built in the alternator. Is this true? If not where is the voltage regulator at? Like I said before I had the alternator out of the truck and had it tested and it is ok. When you put it back in it is not throwing a charge to the battery???
Battery is also new. I am going crazy trying to figure this out. Help guys!!!!
 






Voltage regulator is in the alternator. It sounds like either you have a wire disconnected, or the fuse for the alternator is popped. There is a fuse box under the hood on the driver's side up by the brake booster. that has the fuses for the alternator in it. Your owner's manual will show you which fuse it is.
