Ok Scott I need your brain again!! After a closer look at the wires on the HOA, I found a 4th pin that didn't have a wire to it. Seems like they just wanted to use three wires. So I was able to rig it to where I then had 4 wires. But now... the "fun" begins.
After days of working on cutting pieces of the HOA, finding new bolts, extending wires and all that jazz I was eventually able get the HOA on and in the right place so the belt wasn't slipping off and able to spin all the wheels correctly. I hooked up all the wiring and everything seemed great but my Idiot Light was on when I started the car. I wasn't too worried at first because I have a digital gauge + terminal and the voltage was reading at 14-14.5 for a good 5-7 minutes so I just figured oh well and happy day. However, after starting the car up a second time the voltage on the gauge wouldn't go pass 12.1. It would fluctuate at 11.8-12. I turned the car off and on again with the same results. I hadn't touched anything from when the gauge first read 14+. So I pulled out my multimeter and thought maybe a connection came loose on my Voltage Regulator wiring but this is the readings I found:
S wire 11.8 v
I wire 11.8 v
L wire is only at .9 v (causing the idiot light I bet)
Lastly the M wire (the one I rigged) is at 5 v

Do I need to switch or combine some of the wires? I have them all in the right places I thought. I followed what we had discussed before so IDK what to do or what changed from the first time I turned the car on after hooking up the wiring. I’m going to unhook the M wire I assembled to see if that changes anything. Maybe the pin was unused for a reason=D. Please let me know what you think and thanks for all your help Scott!
