I know the alt is producing power b/c the Dakota gauge set shows 14A of output. So while that exciter bit is something I don't understand that part must be correct or I wouldn't have output. It just isn't getting where it should go.

And yes, I used an aftermarket harness I got with the bracket. We've moved to a different state since that happened and I have NO idea where that diagram is...or if there even was one.
