Charging/Battery/Alternator ?

Good evening all,

Today when I started my 90 240 it sounded like a weak start up.
Next couple of times I started it up it was normal.

Then the car would not start up this afternoon.

After getting a boost from a friend I drove the 240 over to the
auto parts store so that they could hook it up to their computer
to determine if it was the battery or the alternator.

The service person informed me that my alternator is putting out
over 90 amps when it should only be about 70 amps. and that I may
have a short or wire problem somewhere.

Where should I start and what should I look for?

Thanks again fellow Volvo People.

Joseph Segura
