IN ORDER TO GET THE WHOLE STORY, THIS STUFF CAN BE "LOAD TESTED" AND THE BATTERY MAY SHOW UP BAD--OR ONLY THE ALTERNATOR

IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT IF THE ALTERNATOR TEST IN THE LINK ABOVE SHOWS "NOTHING"...I MEAN VOLTAGE DOES NOT IMPROVE AT THE BATTERY WHEN YOU CRANK IT UP.....MOST OF THE TIME, YOU CAN SAY THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD

BEFORE YOU RUSH OUT AND BUY SOMETHING

ROGER!

'BOUT BED TIME HERE.I'LL BE UP ANOTHER HOUR. MAYBE (EASTERN TIME)

IF YOU HAVE AN ON BOARD VOLTMETER IN YOUR GAUGE CLUSTER. YOU PROBABLY CAN'T TRUST IT FOR TESTING THIS (I WOULDN'T ON A COMPUTER OPERATED CAR)

I WOULD ON OLDER VEHICLES. LIKE '80s ON BACK, SUCH AS IN MY JEEPS

HARBOR FREIGHT HAS DIGITAL VOLTMETERS FOR $5 --- AT PARTS STORES YOU CAN GET ONE FOR LESS THAN $20

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD ALL, WHAT I WAS A THROWING AT YOU!

I DO ALL THE LINKING, AS I FIGGER I HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN IT ONCE, AND I AM SO SLOW HUNTIN' AND PECKIN' OUT ANSWERS

YOUR TURN (THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE). THE JEEPS ARE MINE IN THE PICS

THE MEDIC

I RECKON THAT WAS THE CRAPPIEST PIC OF "WILLY" IN MY COMPUTER

THIS IS A LOT BETTER. MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE A TOY!
