After 15 years and 165,000 miles of faithful service, I figured that it would be a good idea to have a good local outfit rebuild my alternator. Unfortunately, after re-installing it, the battery light won't go out, indicating that it's not charging.
I did a search of the archives and then took some measurements with my cheapie multimeter. Results: 12 volts at battery terminals whether engine is running or not. Ground wire connection on alternator has good continuity. Continuity from big charge wire on alternator is good -- it reads 12V.
Is there anything else I should check before I pull it back off to take to the rebuilder? (I believe that they replaced everything that could be replaced -- brushes, bearings, regulator, etc.)
Thanks in advance for your help!
