    Did you check the alternator harness...one wire will go to the gauge and one will be a keyed source...you have to give the alternator power for it to make power... and the post will go to the positive on the batt.....check your key source on the harness..also check fuses.. also check belt tension... ummmm... if still no go than make sure you didn't get a dud alternator...
