Ok, once again she has something broken.
Sigh, wife won't stand for too much more of this.
She was starting slow one day and thought it was my battery. Charged it up and the AdvanceAuto people said my battery was good.
Took off my alternator and had the AdvanceAuto people test it. Zero. Big fat fail.
So replaced the alternator, bench tested new one and it works great.
It still doesn't charge.
Bought me a new voltage regulator. Hooked that up and nope, no charging action happening.
Idle speed alternator putting out 23volts. Multimeter-ed voltage regulator and not getting the 23volts. ?
When I disconnect my battery while she is running the engine dies.
Next? I don't know where the hot from the alternator goes to.
