Subject:      Re: Alternator, thanks

I may be teaching my gran to suck eggs here but did you know that a working alternator should put out about 14.7v at 2000 (engine)RPM. Get your engine running, stick a meter across the battery and check the reading. If the alternator is not doing anything then the reading will be around 12v or bellow.
