What's happening here? First it seems the alternator won't charge the battery when tested then replaced - now it won't run at all? Why are you tesing coils?
Note: Battery cable disconnect neg first and back on last! That way tools/other hot wiring doesn't touch ground while working on positive voltage items and short things out. Were there any shorts while swapping alternator?
