K, tested on the machine is great - Look to the other side of your electrical system - the alternator. Make sure its plugged in, make sure all the wires are on your starter (thats where the positive battery terminal connects to the rest of the car, including the alternator. Ground is accomplished through the frame.)

When this happens 99.9% of the time you need a replacment plug-in for the alternator. All parts stores should carry this in the electrical isle.

Some punctuation & capitols would help us old geezers
better understand what info you really seek.
I guess I have the honor of being 0.1%. My same
problem turned out to be a corroded junction block
where the alternator power output connects into the
main power circuit. Located in close proximity to
the battery, hence the corrosion problem. Good luck.
