@joshuaclar26392 check all your ground and look for any signs of corrosion in the wires. Put your multimeter on your battery cables and, with your engine running, check the voltage. Anything below 13.75V means your battery does not get charged. Let us know what you get.

The next thing to check would be the fusible link coming of B+ and going to the battery.
