What setting on the multimeter should I use. And do I have to have the car running? What exactly should I be doing. I'll pull a diagram from somewhere.
What's the best way to fix a bad wire and splice job for the ecu. Can I run power to each individual wire. Or is the a better way. I feel like a lot of the wires are bad. And how do I find where the grounds are at. Sorry for the noob questions but while fixing up this car, feels like I'm...
Sorry I thought i edited this post to fix it guess it didn't go through.
The black wire running from the Alternator actually went just straight to the Battery positive Terminal, I noticed it once i took the battery out. I replaced that wire and now it's showing 14.6ish volts across the battery...
Fuse bolt to battery showed 0:03 again, while Fuse bolt to Alternator showed 4.46ish. So it's definitely somewhere along that black wire correct? I'm going to pick up some new ring connectors and battery terminals if that's the case.
I measured from right below the fuse box under the 100A Alternator fuse right on that bolt with the black wire and it shows a 0.03. Can i measure it from there?
EDIT: Actually I see what you're saying let me start digging around.
It was just there, and bouncing around. I just zip tied it to something. I don't think it does anything. It runs into the harness, then the harness splits, one going to the passenger fender area, and one going past the radiator back to the fuse box area.
So first off, I tested the car with the engine running and it was not charging. So next on my voltmeter, I ran one lead from battery positive to the B terminal of the alternator( where the orange and black wire run to). That read around 5 volts which according to my google-fu means that there is...
Well, I appear to be the biggest idiot ever. After popping open the ecu, finding the all the ground points, and everything else i tried. The problem was with my AVCR messing up, I redid the wiring and reset the settings and everything works, no more codes. Thanks for the help guys.
It's mounted onto the intake manifold now, did you mean to tell me to cut the ground wire going to the ECU, and remounting into the intake manifold to create a new ground?
Any idea where those ground are? It just runs into the harness. I'm totally lost in all this. I forgot to say thanks, you also helped me out in the other thread.
