I replaced the alternator but still no 14 volt charge. The input plug connector to the alternator has one pin, which reads 12 volts. The output lug of the new alternator showed less than 2 volts when running. I thought this new rebuilt part was defective, so I installed another alternator -- still not charging battery. I checked every fuse in box under the hood and under the dash. I couldn't find a fusible link in the alternator output wire but there is limited access. Where do I turn to next?

While trying to determine if I had voltage with the key off I discovered that the lead from the alternator to the starter was broken in two. I stripped and cleaned the ends, butt spliced and I'm back in business. Thank You.

Make sure you didn't substitute regular wire for that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. bcrary New User Oct 6, 2009, 3:18 AM Post #5 of 5 (9315 views) Re: 1999 Chevy Astro Van new alternator(s) still do not charge Sign In Thank You. I didn't realize there was a fusible link at the starter end of this wire, it appears to be covered with a heat shield material but kind of mangled. Why the stranded copper wire broke clean above this point is a mystery, but it was heavily corroded, and probably kinked for a long time. I bought this vehicle used and it has a replacement starter. So, I'm going back under to replace the fusible link and strip wire back to where there is no corrosion (butt splice, solder and heat shrink)   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
