Long-time- no-post!
Hi all. Just took the car out of storage from winter, looking forward to driving. My new battery keeps draining overnight. So I tapped in-line my multimeter and started pulling fuses and relays to locate the source. When I pulled the alternator wiring harness plug from the relay board, the volts/amps dropped to zero. Bingo! But now what do I do? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Do I have a bad alternator or can I diagnose further? Thanks for the help. I'd hate to have to struggle to replace that bad boy for nothing. Steve |
