[QUOTE="GMUSSTN, post: 1072555, member: 17691"] So I checked it out last night and my ground terminal was a little loose. Tightened that down but I'm still having charging issues. I'm going to replace both terminals and see if that changes anything after cleaning the corrosion off the positive wire with some baking soda. Lines to and connections on the alternator looked fine, but I'll consider adding another ground if the new terminals don't do the trick. Ultimately it looks like the wire just behind the terminal on the positive side corroded to the point where some strands were actually not connected anymore; hopefully a new terminal connection will solve that. Might try the new terminal with a little solder for extra help. [/QUOTE]
