Well I got a flat battery recently and the volt meter was running around 9 volts so I baught a new altenator and fitted it. It stayed around 9 volts still.
I have been out and baught a multi meter and tested the battery (also new) and it reads 12 volts when altenator connections are off. When I connect the alternator it still reads 12 volts and the back of the alternator also this normal?
If I dissconnect the wires from the back of the altenator and test just the alternator it reads 0.3 volts is this normal?
This is the second altenator doing the same thing and I took the other one back, surely 2 alternators can't be faulty!
Am I testing this correctly?
Any advice or pointers would be great, thank you. Tom.
