I'm having charging system trouble. The battery has been load tested, but two different alternators aren't putting out enough voltage.
My battery light on the dash doesn't come on at all.
i read in the FAQ's about the "exciter wire" but I don't know how to test for it.
With the engine running I tested 12.08 v from the B+ terminal, 11.5 v from the D+ terminal, I also measured avout 8 v crossing the small ground wire from the back of the alt to the engine block.
Any tips for testing from here would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-Brent
