[Fot] HITEST14088 ALTERNATOR FOR tr6

[Tim Murphy]

With the engine off the battery voltage should be about 13 volts, ideally
13.2 volts (2.2 volts per cell time 6 cells in the battery).  With the
engine running and the alternator working the voltage at the battery should
be about 14.0 to 14.5 volts.  Not sure what your 3 wires are going to but
the largest should be carrying the current from the alternator to the
battery and this terminal should be the 14.0 to 14.5 when running, same and
the battery terminal to which it is connected.

I installed a HITEST14088 alternator in place of my original alternator
about
5 months ago and it seemed to function although the lead placement was not
the
same as the original setup.   Lately it seems to be spotty and I would like
to
check the output to determine if I have wiring issues or a grumpy
alternator.   I have individually cheched readings between the negative
terminal of the battery and the three connectors on the alternator and
gotten
readings between 0.20 and 0.50 volts. These readings seem odd but being
electrically challanged I don't trust my technique.  Would appreciate
suggestions and or internet references.
