hello all, please help.
I am trying to fix my friend's HUMVEE in exchange for drive time and to learn how to fix humvee's(...while I am still saving money for my own.)
The battery is not being charged when engine is running.
The generator appears to be working: when the engine is running, I disconnect negative battery terminal engine still runs and all lights still turn on. If generator does not work, light should not work, right?
Here is the measurement to determine that it is not charging the battery:

Inside the battery compartment, I don't see any cable coming in to charge the battery, the two red cables as : one goes to the battery, the other one goes to slave :

On the other side of that positive, looking up from underneath the vehicle: that red cable goes to starter motor, below:

The only cable I see that come from outside is this one, with my finger on it,
Is this the wire where charging power coming in?
When the engine is running, at this connection, picture above, voltage stays the same but, I think, my 28V generator should increase the voltage if this is indeed the charging cable.
Please help me figure out if this HUMVEE is missing charging cable? Or the above cable is in fact a charging one but it is disconnected somewhere?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
VINNY
