My voltmeter is not registering much above 9-10 volts, and my battery light is on. Also noticed that the wires from the alternator to the chassis ground get really warm, and the part of the negative battery cable that runs to the same chassis ground is also warm. Not the whole cable, just the wire that shares the ground with the alternator.
Before this happened, I replaced the battery cables, and put a new alternator in. Noticed the low voltage after the new alternator went in, had it tested, and it was only putting out 11 volts. Got a replacement alternator and found it was doing the same thing. Thats when I discovered the warm wires.
First thought was to replace that wiring harness from the alternator, but I wanted some input and suggestions
Input, suggestions?
