    Tested alternator...that tested ok
    Tested battery that tested at 12.4 v
    Changed wiring harness from battery to alternator
    Cleaned battery posts
    Still will NOT charge battery
    What next????? Someone suggested brushes inside alternator? Can the system test ok and still have bad brushes?

    Not gonna believe this but we got it fixed.......... was a 15 cent fuse on the panel...looked good but was fried... changed it out and works great.
