Make it quick and easy, take it to the local auto parts store. They have all the right test equipment, usually free.

Make sure they can test an alternator with external voltage regulator. I called my FLAPS, asked them specifically this question. "Yep, we can test it." Drove a half hour down from the mountains into town. NOPE, their machine said it could only be tested in the car. Waste of time. The factory manual has bench testing procedures for components (diodes, windings, etc.). |
