When your alternator keeps trying to charge it could be because the battery is not accepting a charge. Get one of those small battery/alternator testers that has 6 lights that show your batterie's state of charge with the engine off and the alternator output with the engine on.</div><div><br></div><div>Bud<br><div><br></div>Sent from my Commodore 64</div><div><br>On May 21, 2015, at 6:36 AM, robert rudolphi via 6pack <<a href="mailto:6pack@autox.team.net" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:6pack@autox.team.net">6pack@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><div><br></div></div><blockquote><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px" data-mce-style="color: #000; background-color: #fff; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><div id="yiv0661785287"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_15121"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_15120" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;"><div id="yiv0661785287"><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_14067"><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_14066" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;"><div id="yiv0661785287"><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_6901"><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_6900" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;"><div id="yiv0661785287"><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_5815"><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_5814" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;"><div id="yiv0661785287"><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_4696"><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432211324280_4697" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;"> Hello folks,</div><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432148883361_2786" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;"><br></div><div id="yiv0661785287yui_3_16_0_1_1432148883361_2826" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" dir="ltr" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;">I have a 74 TR6. I noticed the other day my charging light came on and my gauge was showing about 11 volts when running. I removed my alternator and had it tested. The tester at Autozone said it was bad (although the kid seemed to have no idea what he was doing). Anyway I ordered a new alternator and installed it today and am having the same issues.
