Is it a bad Voltage Regulator??
You probably could've saved some time and money if you'd posted here before throwing a ton of parts at the problem.
FIRST WHAT year make model is your car?
SECOND what brand alternator/ regulator you have?
You using the 69/ earlier Mopar system?
the 70/ later Mopar system?
or an aftermarket/ Delco/ Denso/ Ford Studebaker/ surplus aircraft/ I sure as hell don't know??
Pleas explain what you mean by "pass" a wire
WHAT exactly did you do when you used these jumper wires, and exactly where did you connect them?
We'll be glad to help but we are NOT telepathic.
