Testing the Alternator
2
1. Set the parking brake and start the engine.
2. Using a voltmeter, check the system voltage across the
positive and negative battery terminals.
If the new alternator is functioning correctly, the
voltage should read between 13 and 15 volts at high
idle.
3. Connect the eye-ring terminal on the red wire to the
stud on the alternator (Fig. 6).
4. Route the other end of the wire harness over the
alternator and along the vehicle frame to the fuse box
area.
