You're absolutely correct. The brown/yellow wire broken just inside the loom. It was a pig to solder, at arms length in the dark whilst stood on a box (short-arse). Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Hi folks, some guidance please. the truck died on me on my way to work one morning (0530, -6 degC), dash lit up like a Christmas tree then dead. A new battery got me home but alternator not charging so new alternator ordered. It's fitted now but still not charging. I've checked all fuses and...
