Ok, I had my alternator rebuilt to be 100amps. I put it back on to find out it didn't work. My amp light came on and my volt meter was 8vdc. I took it back to the rebuilder. He told me the stator was cooked. The rebuilder did it again at no charge. I again put it back on and again it didn't work.
Could I have a short somewhere? There are two plugs on it. With the key on (car not running) alternator unpluged, I get power to one heavy wire. Can someone point me in the right direction. Maybe I should try a different rebuilder?
