Here is the story.
noticed a about a month ago charge on the meter was high. checked with multimeter and alt. was pumping out 16.7 volts.
couldnt get into see my normal auto elect. so after phone call have been driving with ac and lights on to drop volts.
Was running ok... on thursday (just after all the shops close for easter..lol) my dash lights up like a christmas tree.
So alt. now failing to charge. meter on dash is showing 12 volts..( bat voltage)
I manage to source a new alt. and just fitted.. but is showing no charge.
Any ideas as to what i missed?
It was a new alt. not a overhauled/recond.
I have checked in the engine bay the main fuses, charge relay and diode in the box... all appear to be ok.
Thanks for any ideas.
Chris
