also make sure you have the plug plugged into the alternator too. there is the wire and also the plug. that will cause a charge light to come on.

yup dude you were right about the fuse... except it was a 150 amp fuse, not an 80. But either way i took it out today (finally got some time, lol) and now i just need to find a replacement. You were also right about the dealer wanting me to replace the whole box of fuses. The dealer wants $117 for it, minus the 20% wholesale discount. Bullshit. lol. i''ll just go to one of my vendors and get that shit tomorrow hahaha

But seriously man.... THANK YOU... you were the first person out of at least 7 mechanics (literally) that i''ve asked opinions of that actually gave me a firm answer without being "iffy" about it... thanks thanks thanks dude... oh by the way... you were the only one that was correct, too... lol...
