Not Charging after Madd bypass.

if your ammeter is sound and everything works ok. the easiest route to avoding overload of ageing connectors is just to run a fat cable with a fuse in it from the altenernator stud to the stud on the starter relay which is the closest component to battery +...... most of the benefits for the least hassle.... ammeter will not move anymore BUT the main current flow for charging the batery and supplying the car now goes via the new short cut, you are taking the full load (battery charge and supplying the car) out of the route via ammeter and bulkhead connector. car supply still goes that way but is dicated by what is switched on. in theory everything swicthed on in a standard car is less than the current capabilities of the wires..... Battery chargeing however is a variable, and it depends on alternator capacity battery capcity and how flat the battery is.... but current for that will now invaribly take the new route.... i.e you cater for the fact that your battery and potentially your alternator are no longer standard items limited by their "just good enough" factory specifications, that were just good enough to cause bulkhead connector and ammeter problems when standard and with the wires and connector components aged by 50 years.
