Johndouglas Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Have you checked the output of the alternator when the engine is running. It should be giving around 14.7 volts. Quote

Johndouglas Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Before condemning the alternator, check all the connections. Quote
