Was working on car , slipped and shorted the red wire on back of alt sparks flew !! So i finish up and start car and Alt light is on and gauge shows 12v .. I think damn I fried the regulator .. So i pull alt today , they testi t say it is ok so I toss it back in car and same deal, alt light on gauge at 12v
So I go back and I get a new one which they test before I buy it tests good . I put it in and get same result light is on gauge shows 12v. I go under car with volt meter and test fusable links at starter , I test both sides and have power on each side of the links. So whats is the deal ? Anyone have any ideas ? All fuses are good as well not that I expected to see a charging fuse lol..
1 more thing with car off I have no power to the main stud on back of alt , however if I start the car I get plenty of juice off that main red wire that bolts to the rear of alt. Should I not have power to that wire even with the car off ?
Any help is always , appreciated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
