Possibly a battery cable terminal or the connection at the starter.
Sometimes a loose or faulty wire can barely work until a load is put on it then it just shuts down. Test power flow at starter before and after turning the key. Replace battery cable ends and if the problem persists, replace entire cable.
remove the battery terminals, remove wires from starter, remove starter, replace with new starter, hook wires back up to starter and battery. Remember where the wires go as you take them off, once you mix them up, its hard to figure out where they went if you don't take a mental note or lable them with masking tape etc.
CODE P1637 - GENERATOR L TERMINAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION CONDITIONS. CODE P1638 - GENERATOR F TERMINAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION CONDITIONS. POSSIBLE CAUSES FAULTY GENERATOR WHICH IS ALTERNATOR.CHECK GENERATOR POWER FEED WIRES AND CHECK GENERATOR VOLTAGE REGULATOR WIRES FOR LOOSENESS AND DAMAGE. MAKE SURE BATTERY VOLTS ARE 12.6 VOLTS. IF BATTERY WEAK DUE BAD GENERATOR VECHICLE WONT START.
check for a blown fuse,sometimes if the battery cable is connected when changing an alternator it overloads the fuse,also check for power at any fusible links
remove negative on battery starter is on side of motor remove wires(make note of were wires go use colored tye wraps or number masking tape to identify.remove starter mounting bolts install new starter install wires exactly how they came off old starter secure everything make sure its all tight!hook up negative on battery start vehicle!!!!
Youve probably tested the main wire for continuity and its good, but a major short can burn an inner section of wire and you can still get continuity, however because the conductors burnt it wont charge under load due to poor connection. Try changing the entire cable from the alternator to the battery or temporarily jump a piece of 8 gauge from the charging terminal of the alternator to the battery and see if that solves the problem
check to see if there is power at the light green/red wire at the alt. If the is no power check the thirty amp fuse in the engine comp fuse box for the alt.
