Ok so Houston we have a problem. The solenoid actuator (purple starter wire) is grounded, pretty certain it shouldn't be, as it is only to trigger the starter solenoid when you turn the key. So. I dissconnected it and hooked my meter to ground and the purple wire and turn the key to start, voila! 12 volts to start the car like normal. Any other time I hook my meter to positive and the same wire and I have 12 volts(bad). What the he//? Could it be ignition switch issue and causing the charging issue too?
Edit
Sorry I lost a post somewhere. Green circled is the starter wire on my junction box in the frame rail. The three wires twisted are the ones for the second stud, including field wire. Like that when I got it, not the issue.
