'1994 E350 alternator charging?
Started the engine for the first time in 3 months. The dash light for the charging circuit goes out when the engine is running but the voltage reads 12.5 (on several meters.) I noticed previously last...

I have a 1994 Hornet E350 RV. The chassis seems to be a 92 And changing the alternator has been no easy task. First the old ASI plug was apparently a 'D333'. It had only the y/w 'test' wire and the g/r 'indicator' wire next to each other. (No stator wire) So I had to use my own crimped connectors. I tried ignoring the second (output) plug. I wired the output to the battery directly with battery cable (including fuses), since the new one is a high output alternator. After I ran the motor there was an apparent cascade reaction that burned the 'indicator' wire after an old three wire connector even after the motor was stopped. I replaced that in similar fashion. The new alternator has not produced a charge since. I have re-partialy-drained the radiator to move the hose that blocks removal and removed the new alternator. I have made a new ASI harness. The individual wires may have just come loose. But after opening the sheathing on the second plug I noticed that the original b/o wires were spliced to much heavier yellow wires that seem to go indirectly to each battery. As well as a yellow/green wire that I have no idea where it goes yet. I wish they didn't bundle all the (maybe 100) wires together. Anyone familiar with this type of RV wiring?
