Well documented, yes, but sadly on the brickboard only most of the time, which means, good luck ever seeing it again! =D


Anywho, checked the battery voltage again, and as I assumed, it's good, with 12.5 volts now after a better "charge" from not using the fan and wipers as much when driving home last night. Cranked her up, and found the same approximate 12.8-13.2V range depending on engine speed. Checking voltage at the big red and the ground wire on the alternator itself gave me approximately one more tenth of a volt than at the battery, but nothing major.

I then tightened the belt as suggested, and that made no difference other than make me worry greatly for my poor alternator and water pump's bearings.

Now, next step is bypasing the regulator you say? Is the regulator the thing that's attached to the rear of the alternator that the larger red wire comes off of? So, would I take apart that connection and reconnect JUST the wires to that terminal on the alternator and check again?
