My 4.0 isn't charging after I got everything installed. I haven't tested the wires yet due to me being at work for now. But are there any wires on the drivers firewall that I need to splice for it?? Truck has 12.11v when running and battery has 12.67v at rest with truck off. I'm wondering if I missed something. The orange and black wire is hooked up to the starter solenoid and both connectors are plugged in on top of the alternator.

The alternator require Key-On power to start charging. There is a fuse for it and most likely a Light Green/Red wire.
