Charging Issues
I tried helping my cousing with his car today and came up clueless. Basically what's happnening is the alternator appears to not be charging while the car is running. Key on/car off the voltage reads 11V and with the key on/car on the voltage reads 11V, no change. So assuming it was the alternator we swapped one in from his other car, which we know for a FACT charges properly (13.5V on the logger). There was no change, car still read 11V. The alternator fuse and relay are both fine to my knowledge, so what does this come down to? Wiring? Just for shits we threw the first alternator in his other car and that again reads 13.5V on the logger so we know it works. But what would cause it to not charge the system in the first car?
