Ok, wow the engine bay is tight!!!!!!!! Few scraps of the knuckles later..
There looks to be a fairly new earth cable on there, as the mating faces were spotless, this was from battery to gearbox to chassis leg. That is all good.
The ECU supply seemed good at the alternator end, but is there a pin I can test on the ECU plug to test its entire continuity?
Fuses in engine bay box are good. Pulled them all and tested
OK, with a little more digging, i have found that pin 16 of the ECU is the battery feed,
Does any one know which one is 16? or 1 for that matter.
I have 2 rows of pins, so it could be in any one of 4 positions. from there i will be able to test the continuity to the alternator, making sure my ecu is actually getting power
