I have replaced the battery 1 month ago. Rechecked the altenator and this time I was told it was not charging. Had to replace the battery again aswell as the alternator. Two weeks later the gauges read 0 and my lights go out on the ride home. I have tried to flex my tention arm I hopes to increase the tension. The belt is only a year old. Any suggestions?

Remove the plug from the back of the alternator and with the key on check for power.
If power is not present suspect a bad fuse.
