We are going to treat the problem as, potentially, having more than one source. That means getting the charging circuit to work normally, then we'll move on to the short on the GREEN line that runs from the fuel gauge, to the tach, to the wipers, etc. Here is the next test:
Remove Fuse #3 and keep it out throughout the testing. Likewise, remove the double GREEN wire from the pin on the ignition light and keep it off throughout the testing.
Run a fused wire from the ACC terminal of your ignition switch (WHITE wire) to the exposed pin on the ignition light that had the two green wires on it. The G/R wire should still be attached to the ignition light normally.
Then remove the four wire plug from the voltage regulator and jumper a new ground wire from ground to the G/R wire hole in the plug. Do not re-insert the plug, just leave the temporary ground jumper in it.
Turn the key "ON" and see if the ignition light comes on.
If the light comes on, check to see if you have 12v+ at the Y/R wire hole on the plug.
Report back.
