Alternator not charging

jonnotch · March 3rd, 2008, 12:21 PM

Alright I have a new battery and a new alternator. I cleaned all the grounds and made sure they were all tight. My volts guage started working properly again and reading at 14 volts. I let the car sit for a couple of weeks and ran the car again , but the volt guage was showing 8 to 9 or so. I heard that there is a recall on the connector to the alternator. That is the only thing I can think of. I took off the alternator yesterday. I am bringing it in to get the voltage regulator cheched. I am running out of ideas and spring is hopefully right around the corner.

Thank you

Jon
