Okay, Alt 1 was not charging and troubleshot it to a burned out Alt 1 light. Took out instrument cluster and cleaned all the contacts and checked all the bulbs. The voltmeter wasn't working or connected and the needle was way off scale so I connected it while I was putting the dash back together. Alt 1 light now comes on and charges battery.
Alt 2 was charging before I plugged the faulty voltmeter in. After I connected the voltmeter, at first the Alt 2 came on and flickered and got dimmer when I revved the engine, I shut the engine off and finished installing the instrument cluster and dash. When I turned the ignition on the second time, the Alt 2 light did not come on and the alternator is not charging. Is it possible that the voltmeter is shorted internally and blew a fuse or something and caused Alt 2 to not work?
