- '99 xlt
i have a '99 explorer xlt that has been sitting for a good 6 months now. Battery was dead so I replaced it but found that when I start the car that the battery wasnt charging. I replaced the altenator as the old one was bad but now that the new altenator is installed the battery still isnt charging. I took a voltage reading off the altenator and it is only kicking out .6 volts, i then removed the altenator and took it back to the auto patrs store as I thought it was bad but when they tested it on the machine it was kicking out 14.5 volts. checked all the fuses and they seem fine. Battery light indicator on the dash is lit and im at a loss for what the problem can be. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
