I purchased a brand new 3 wire GM Internal regulator alternator from the local parts store and they tested it before I brought it home. I watched, computer said GOOD.
Hooked it up on the car, Positive battery cable has a second wire attached to it so I hooked the second battery cable wire to the battery terminal on back of the alternator. Hooked the brown wire up to the number 1 terminal and the red wire from the number two terminal to the battery conection on the back of the alternator.
Checked voltage on the battery 11.68 started her up reved engine to about 2000 rpm and checked battery voltage. 11.68 no change at all.
Is the alternator bad or did I do something wrong. Again it checked good on their computerized test machine.
Thanks
