Default PTK Alternator problem..help

I dont seem to be charging. I checked the large studded output line as well as all the small connections on the back of the alternator. I have no voltage anywhere.

Can someone please tell me which terminals should have output....also how are you guys hooking up your alternators (PTK high output, 1 wire).

I also am not showing any faults on the dash,......
Please be very detailed all info is a great help!!!!

First of all where on the Alternator did you check? If you believe it to be the Alternator is bad disconnect the postive post or the ground post on battery and if the car stops running the regulator in the Alternator is not working. Sorry for the confusion
