Hi, I have a MF 165 that I can't get
alternator to charge. It has been this way
for awhile so I have been jumping it off. I
decided to replace the alternator thinking
it was bad with a 7127 one wire alternator
from Advance Auto and it still isn't
charging. I jump the oil pressure switch
and checked all wires but still not
charging. Would a bad ammeter not cause it
to charge? I have one wire from alternator to
right side of ammeter and a wire there to
ignition switch. The left side of ammeter I
have a wire going to oil pressure switch
and to the positive battery terminal on starter. The
other side of ignition switch goes to
neutral switch and the a wire from the
other side of it to the positive terminal
on starter. The other side of pressure
switch goes to fuel gauge. I think I have
it wired correctly? Any ideas? Thanks.
