What's the status of the blue wire to the alternator ? is the instrument cluster installed ? Does the warning light come on when you turn on the key ? The alternator won't 'wake up' until it's excited by the blue wire connection.

Took the alt. out and took it to the store for checking. It passed with almost 14 volts. Great. I put it back in the car and got 11.98 volts at the battery, at the alt. same. Shut the car down and the battery is back to 12.4 volts. > > I can’t think of anything that I can look at.
