[V8] Avant no charging

[D Morralee]

just some ideas , thoughts and Questions 
 
-> the Alternator when running is putting out around 13.5V?
-> at the battery what is the voltage, with the car running?
-> is the alternator body grounded. ( i would think it is)
-> have you done a Load test on the battery? Battery could show 12.5V but be dies when loaded up. 
-> Battery post and wiring clean? 
-> blue exciter wire check.
-> I know with some of the later 200 there was a problem with the main wire coming off the alternator. There was a splice under the passengers floor mat that sometimes would corroded. 
-> is there continuity from the alternator to the battery from the wire above?
