Hello to all   Ok  i just bought a 91 PU 22re and the guy told me that it just needed a new Battery  ok jumped it  and off i went   Bought a brand new Batt everything is great   BUT wait the idiot light on the dash is on hmmm  OK check alt  took it off and had it checked   NO GOOD . OK put new Alt on   and Nothing   starts runs fine but the batt light stays on? took ALT off and had it checked just to be sure and it works fine  . Now i see were the previos owner     on the ALT i have a white wire that is power from the Batt   and then i have  a yellow , white and small red that goes to the round plug .   The white wire from the roung plug has power  But i am getting nothing from the yellow ?  Please help  Thank you

ON Battery ?  brand new    I checked all fuses also     . It starts  and runs fine but if i disconect the Batt   it dies   Just not sure  what wire Recharges the batt ?  On the drivers side fender ,there is a fuse block and a wire that goes to the positive side on the battery   If i disconect that it dies .

IF i am thinking right    and if i am reading the book right  There should be a white wire that bolts to the Alt   and that is hot  .  then from the plug  there is a red , yellow and white . it looks to me that the yellow should go to the charge light  ?and ign fuse . and then the small red goes to the eng fuse . and the white should go to some relay   ? and i am guessing that chrges the Batt
