1995 302 battery light on and low charge

Yell0wB055 · 11-30-2008, 04:03 PM

Hi all I am looking for some help tracking down a problem with my electrical system. I had a friend replace the harmonic balancer in my car and when he returned it the battery (alternator)light stayed on constantly. I have tried new battery, replaced 3 alternators, DVM to check wiring for resistance and when I pull regulator wire off the light in the dash goes out. Output of the alternators is about 11.6. Checked the ground and connections for continuity and I am at a loss as to what to do next besides replacing the CCRM.Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks!

well first there is i think 2 thick wires that go from the alt to the solinoid check and see if there is power to the alt when the car is off

Goodyear thanks for your response. It turned out to be a MISSING alternator fuse from the under hood fuse box
