Here are both alternators wired. Still shorting.

I have. I told my friend that owns it the next best step is to remove all the wires off of the terminal boards and run continuity through each wire to ensure it is the correct wire connected. Also on the diagram below, where exactly is this component in the bay?

The isolated ground is circled below. I will reconnect the ground wire that is connected to the frame to see if it makes any difference as it wasn't connected to the old one.

There is no continuity to the post. It is isolated. This is also how the current alternator is set up. Red/ white wire to positive terminal. Small red wire to 2nd port brown/ white wire to 1st port, and then large red wire and orange 20A fuse link wire are pinned together, completely off the...

The new alternator has the isolated ground on it but even when the red/white is connected to it, it shorts. That's why even with the new alternator it's wired the same as this pictured old one

This is how it was wired on the old alternator. Looks like red/white wire is on the positive, 2nd post is jumped from that. The solid red and the orange diag wire were crimped together. That's how he bought it. Without the solid red and diag touching, it shorts the battery. Now we have it set up...

From the schematic and tech manual for the truck it looks like the iso ground post needed to be on the alternator so we purchased an alternator with one on it. But it was wired incorrectly when he bought it with the old alternator and we haven't been able to change how it is because it'll short...

It has an isolated ground. Post. From the schematic and tech manual it looks like both the red/white wire and the black ground wire connect to it but I might be wrong. Either way they aren't connected there right now.

Hey, y'all. I'm helping a friend work on Gen2 on his '86 m1008. We used the schematics on here and I wired it accordingly. We replaced the bulb in the dash for the Gen2 light to complete the circuit; however, anytime I wire it to the correct spec I short the batteries. We have to wire it funky...
