- Good continuity from B+ to positive battery terminal and from D to where it connects at X4/10 terminal block.
- Belt tension seems OK - the alternator is turning with the engine on.
- 38k ohms from D at alternator to positive battery terminal when ignition is on. I'm not very good at reading schematics, but shouldn't it be pretty low resistance?
If I'm reading the schematic right, with the ignition in the run position I should get continuity from D on the alternator to fuse 7, but I'm getting an open. Between D on the alternator and the fuse is connector X4 and the ignition switch, so a bad connection from D to X4 would do it or a bad ignition switch. Although the seat belt buzzer and SRS light come on so would this rule out the ignition switch? Can anyone tell me where connector X4 is?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Here is the X4 connector location (page 6, upper left) but it's not clear to me where this is at. Is it in the interior?
Here is the charging system schematic (page 59)
