I'm Awesome
I bought and installed a new alternator, but when I tested it running, I noticed it wasn't charging at all. Here's what I've gone through:
- Battery is good and charged. 12.6V when the truck off
- Alternator doesn't seem to be charging. 12.3V when truck on and idling. Lower if accessories on.
- Belt looks tight and alternator pulley is spinning
- Continuity between ground and the alternator case
- Continuity between the alternator charge stud and the positive battery terminal
- 1-wire connector pigtail snug. Couldn't see where that wire lead to, don't know how to test this wire
- Wire from positive battery terminal to fuse relay center looks good
