Note the diagram. The bat terminal at generator is hot all the time, even with key off. Use a test light to check, is it hot. If it isn't maybe fusible link? Note the battery current sensor. See the f and l terminals at generator, 5 volts on l terminal, the pcm cycles that voltage to ground depending on charge needed. Do you have a meter that will check duty cycle? Any applicable trouble codes? that's all I know. good luck
