just got done doin that 20 in ago. it is still not charging, is there a correct spacing for the CPS or computer which i have had pulled out in the last month. I dont know which relay or fuse is for the alternator either any ideas

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

so i tightened down the computer too tight from the engine bay. it must have pulled it past the connections slightly. its charging just fine now.
