Alternator not charging

[5.0Dell]

I recently bought a 95 Gt and for some reason the alternator didn’t charge. After looking online I see that some people either replaced the gauge cluster (I did but no change) or take the green wire and tie it into a 12v source (I tied it into the low coolant reservoir wire and it’s charging). Is my current wiring fine or do I need to find another 12v source. As stated the car is charging and I do drive it. Btw the car has a battery relocation kit.

have you checked any fuses? If not start simple and dig in there. Don't bother with your manual it takes less time to pull and inspect each fuse and then we can be sure it is not one of those.

I checked all the fuses and they are good!

If you ran the green wire from the Alt, to 12v, and it began charging... then:

Inspect fuse #18 in the fuse panel under the drivers knee bolster.
Check wire continuity from the fuse, out to the alt plug. The wire also passes through the instrument cluster, to the battery warning light. Verify that the 500ohm resistor on the rear of the cluster is still good (I had it fail and needed to be replaced).
