With the ignition in the ON position, is there power at alternator plug, terminal no. 1 (Blk/yel wire - blk wire with yellow stripe)? There should be power coming from under-dash Fuse No. 4 with the ignition on.

Yes it shows battery voltage at terminal #1 at alt. Plug black and yellow wire also have voltage at splice packs on top of motor.

Should the alternator be putting out voltage higher that battery with 4pin connector unplugged, with eng. Running? Or do you have anymore ideas where to look for problems?

See this link for testing the alternator: https://troubleshootmyvehicle.com/ho...e-alternator-1

Your alternator may be charging properly.

If your alternator is charging properly, and the battery gets drained, it may be an issue with car's wires, components, etc. causing excessive parasitic drain.
