I'm absolutly clueless about why my headlights or any other electic item in my car is not working. I'll run through how I hooked it up and maybe you'll be able to spot where I may have messed up. I put the battery in the trunk, grounded the negative cable, put a ground on the body to the neg. cable, and ran the pos. cable to the starter solonoid. As far as up front, I have a wire from the harness going to the positive post on the alternator, the alt. is also grounded to the body with the little alt. plug in connected. I have a purple wire from the harness going to the inside post on the starter solonoid, with the yellow wire from the harness going to the outside solonoid post. Shouldn't this be all that is needed to atleast get the head and tail lights working? I put a test light on the starter solonoid where the pos. cable goes and it lights up. I put the test light on the pos. alternator post and nothing..... Any clues to this baffling dilema? Any advice is much appriciated!!!
