You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.

Charging goes through the very problematic fuse block. Check the fuse and block first, then the 9 pin Molex connector between the battery and rear of engine next. That's where 90% of charging problems go back to.

Did look at the Molex and can tell why the wire is out side of it ...looks like there was a short since its got a little black in there.......so the splice makes sense or at least to me for now............:smile2 :smile2

They get hot at the connection over time, the connector doesn't handle the amperage going through it and when the connection gets bad they heat up and cause what you're seeing. There are 2 connections that are most problematic at that connector, I can't remember the other wire colors though...
