battery will not charge because the light on the dash will not come on.
diagnosed this far

the red exciter wire from the alternator to the gray connector on the firewall... engine side lacks continuity

continuity however exists between the cluster side of the gray connector and pin 11 at the back to the cluster

its a 1991 non abs

if I run a fresh wire from the alt to the gray connector as soon as I re attach the neg battery terminal crackles and the exicter wire loses continuity.

i am thinking a short in the loom under the alternator?
