Need help with my Electrical system.
I really don't wanna clutter up the kills form with Tech stuff and I can't post it anywhere else because its not a Honda. But I'm posting it here because you guys have helped me solve most all of my problems. So if you could help me out here that would be freakin great.
Anyway, its an 00 Mustang GT and I have a weird problem. I got my alternator tested out twice and tried a friends alternator once, so my alternator I'm pretty sure is good, I checked all my fuses under the hood and got my battery tested. All good. But for some reason, my Electrical system wont charge or run off the alternator. It just drains to battery like the alternator is completely dead.
Anybody have any guesses?

jk.. its prolly not pluged in correctly or your voltage regulator is dead. if its pluged in correctly its the voltage regulator. just replace it.

HERES THE COMMENT THAT SAVED ME!!!
I've checked the main power wire from the alternator but I didn't check the wires to the voltage regulator. Well, I checked them and found out both wires were broke somewhere. I ripped apart my harness to trace it back and find out that theres a plug hidden under my fuse box that wasn't plugged in... BAM...
I've had dumber problems but this one ranks up there.
Thanks guys!
