not happy cj
« on: July 11, 2009, 07:38:01 AM »
my cj isn\'t happy right now
i just replaced the alternator (mine was actually shot)
it still doesn\'t seem to be charging, i\'m not sure why.  this new alternator is slightly different from my old one, 1 lead is different.
i\'m trying to figure out how to test the voltage regulator, but not having any luck figuring out how.

it looks like an external to me.  

dumb question, did you have autozone or whatever test the alternator?
