I have looked thru the threads on here and found some good information, but nothing has worked! Okay, here is what is going on and what I have done. I have completely rebuilt a 04 gt that I bought wrecked. I did an engine swap, added long tube header, EVE intake, cold air kit and car has x pipe with PIPES muffler. I put a 130amp alternator and a 765cca 95r battery.
Car cranks, runs, but the alternator isn't charging. I have what appears to be dead short somewhere, but where?
Battery is full 12,5 amps, as I said brand new alternator (tested good off the car). Battery light on dash is on. Check voltage on Alternator connector on top connector 0. Take ground off of Battery, put probe on ground post and then the alternator reads 12.45? I have traced the ground from the battery to the block and it looks fine. Traced the positive all the way to the starter, still nothing.
Next, did a fuse test with with test light, power to all fuses and all fuses good.
Then I decided to check for parasitic drop, took ground off of battery, hooked up DMM and DAMN IT, 12,4v on volt side and 0.15amp on other. Like I said before, touch probe to ground post of battery with out the cable and the power goes to alternator.
ASK me any question and I will try to provide what I have done.
HELP!!!
