I want to start by saying i have searched all over this and other forums for an answer, cant find anything that helps me so....

yea I crossed the connections hooking the battery back up
starter selanoid fried up, but the truck still started but had the little battery light on so its not charging.

I have replaced the starter selanoid and alternator (old one was tested and found to be dead) new one tested said it worked. battery still not charging.

what should i do now.

 

will your truck run if you disconnect the batter while its on, or does it die?

 

just tried it, it died.

 

chances are you fried one of the fuse-able links...check all your fuses first...

 

um is there a fuse box under the hood?
because they are usually plain as day and i didnt see one. i checked all the ones under the dash, all good, didn't think they were realted to any of this but found out y there is no cruise, no fuse.

 

im gonna have to agree with bowtie yet again

 

Not the fuses in the fuse box.. its going to be a fuse in the wireing check your battery out put wire from the alternator and see if theres a fuse on it and check to see if its blown

 

i believe all the fusable links are coming off the starter solenoid

 

Yeah but the charge wire runs from the alternator to the solenoid.. it should have a fuse and thats probably what blew

 

yeah, you prolly blew a fuse along with the solenoid. now a big deal. Somewhere along the wireing there should be a fuse.
