Grn92LX said:You jinxed yourself by posting that thread last week how you fixed the problem by cleaning your grounds (or whatever it was you did to your grounds, I forget)For sh its and giggles try what I did. I added another 4G ground wire from the power steering bracket (FMS a/c delete) to the chassis where the front swaybar bolts go. Doesn't have to be those exact spots, but you get the picture. I might add another 4G ground from the neg battery terminal to the chassis. Grounds are good
All resistance measurements must be made with the power OFF. If you leave the power on you get false readings or may damage the meter. Use the voltmeter to find votage drops across wiring & connections as shown it the picture, and do it with a good load on the system, like lights & A/C on, etc.Stang8URMPRT said:Yeah, I did the same with my 83. But it was for added security, not for fixing any problems. Ugh... Let's get some more advise before I go buying crap lol.
Also, I PMed HISSIN50... I'll copy it in here, cause it includes more info.. maybe someone will beable to help with this info...
Hey. I just went outside with the multimeter again. I've been testing everything! There is barely ANY resistance from the output of the alt to the positive battery terminal with the car OFF... Now when I turn the car ON... There is about 400 ohms of resistance. Is this bad? I know my way around wiring things, but this is really pissing me off. I'm getting like 13.4 volts at the battery with the car on... and nothing extra on. Then the fuse box is reading around .5 volts LOWER... but then when I take voltage readigns off the back of the alternator, it's giving me around 13.7! This is all with the car up to temp, so I know it will put out lower voltage when it's up to temp. Man, anything you can help me with would be awesome.

Getting the same results, - about .1-.2 volts.HISSIN50 said:how does the alt do when you put a load on it (tested at the back of the alt)?
if not so hot, a bench test, a phone call and off to the shipper.
