'84 944 Alternator not charging battery
On my '84 944 N/A the alternator isn't charging the battery. I took it to autozone and it checked out as good. Disconnected the little blue wire from the blue/white wire connector under the dash and the battery dash light went off. All the grounds look good, where else should I look? Can the connection to the starter influence the alternator's charging ability? I hate car electronics.
Thanks for the help in advance! |

I had a similar issue on my 84 but my battery would go dead after 3 days and it always seemed low. After a summer of chasing/testing wires and cleaning grounds I purchased an 18" ground cable and connected the frame ground for the battery negative (ground lug next to battery) to the body ground where the engine ground strap connects and all of my problems seemed to go away... Good luck.
