I have read a number of messages on this site related to perceived alternator problems. A common theme for alternator-related problems seems to be the old wiring. It makes sense that bad wiring would cause the charging circuit to not allow the correct flow of current. But, would loose or deteriorated wiring actually cause the alternator to burn out? I am asking because I currently have a problem on my 82 240. I bought one alternator from Auto Zone and it lasted about 1 week (Auto Zone verified the alternator to be dead when I brought it back). I bought another one from Advanced, but I am affraid to put it on until I can figure out if I actually have a wiring problem that is causing the alternator to burn out. Any additional information on this would be very helpful.

Also, Should I be getting 12 volts at D+ with the car not running, but in the on position?

Thanks

Gerald
