Charing system problem*help

[Pishpeng]

Its a 97 honda civic hatch with a 1999 gsr motor 98 ex wire harness

brand new battery + alternator

static voltage when car is on is only at 12 max and decrease. (alternator not working but test alternator and it is good)

Im thinking a short to ground maybe but when i test voltage at alternator its only 12 max and decreasing also.

Any help would help thanks

Make sure to check the batt cables for corrosion. I've seen a few hondas at work where the inside of the cables were all green and corroded. GL

yo check your 80/100amp fuse in your fuse box...had a swap gime me so charging issues and went to replaces the alternator...eveything was good then i check the BAT fuse in the underhood fuse panle..it was blown.... the grounds would be my next guess. the ground side of the chargin system is as importan as the power side...
also your ELD (electric load detector) could be shorted too...
