T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 86 turbo coupe 5 speed for parts or sale
the car is partly disassembled because i was going to restore it and paint it.  The interior is mostly there and i do have all the parts for it i believe.
the 88 hood is primed and there is a 3x4 inch section cut out of the rear quarters because of small rust holes
there are 4 holes drilled in the trunk lid because there was some sort of body kit on it removed but i do have.  have all the moldings but they arent on the car.
the car is very solid for its age and the rear quarters are the only thing that need attention
has cai, gills boost valve, stinger downpipe and midpipe just installed, aftermarket head unit, 88 hood, 4 88 wheels and 4 86 wheels both with tires on them.

Electrical Tech / car wont hold a charge-wiring all messed up
it charges enough to keep the car running (well not anymore, now it wont stay running at all) but when i turn it off it is completely dead.  Im scratching my head, i may just go pick up a complete harness for it.

Electrical Tech / car wont hold a charge-wiring all messed up
i had the alternator tested at the parts store and its good, the battery came out my explorer and worked completely fine.  the alternator cables are spliced and the battery cables look good.  i guess ill get the battery checked for sure.  the guage in the car reads normal when the car is running and there arent any lights on.  i wonder if its the harness that went bad because everything else seems to check out ok.

Electrical Tech / car wont hold a charge-wiring all messed up
my 86 turbo coupe wont hold a charge, i can jup it and drive it but as soon as it dies it wont start agian.  the wires that go to my alternator are spliced in, the are both hooked up to a goldish colored module on my driver side inner fender the colors are red/black and yellow it looks like. Also my batter cables arent stock becuase the red cable is hooked up to the negative side and runs down to a ground on the block. the positive cable is blue and goes to the small black module on the inner fender.  Can someone tell me where these wires are supposed to be going?

Electrical Tech / car wont hold a charge.
its an 86 turbo coupe if that helps.  I can jump the car and keep it running ONLY if i keep the jumper cables connected otherwise it looses power and dies.  I would assume this would be the alternator but i was wondering if there were other things i could check with a 12v meter.  Im no electrical wizard, but if there are things i can check before replacing the alternator it would be much appreciated.
thanks,
dan
