I am measuring the Volts at the Cigarette lighter using a digital volt meter. http://www.cetsolar.com/voltmeter.htm

The battery was at about 11.2 volts when I returned the Refurbed Alternator to the car.

The battery seems to never take a full charge. I charged it for two days trickle charge at 2 amps only got about 12 volts, charger stated the it was never charged fully. Same thing with overnight charge at 6amp.

I have taken the noise suppressor out of the mix by plugging directly into the VR.

I replaced the Alternator to begin with because it went bad. No gen-light when key turned on and whole car died on the road one night.

When Alternator was out grounded blue wire turned on ingition bright red light on gen-light so the bulb is good.


Tighten all leads on Alternator, I guess I will go back and clean and retighten again.

Battery terminals and ground to car clean and too bare metal.
