I was having the same problem on my iroc check to make sure you have power for your fuse box to your alt mine was the second fuse usaully a 20amp fuse but i drop all power to that slot and was not allowing mine to charge and if so you can run power back to that spot from a power acc i ended up replace the whole harness
