question about my rex. its an 86, and i replaced the alternator, and its still only charging at 12 volts and 30 amps. the voltage regulator is built into the alternator, so im not sure what else to check. its a new battery, and new terminals and wires and all that. so im thinking its a little resistor box thing that sits next to my coil. does anyone know what i mean? like, im kinda stumped

 

get the alternator bench tested. it's probably a bad reman unit. happens a lot. just happened to me actually. ordered one from honda automotive parts. my advance auto one is crap..

 

just had that sucker bench tested a couple days ago at oriellys, where i bought it, and its good to go.

 

That's happened a few times to me, and still they were bad. The machines definitely can give false positives.

 

tommorrow im going to see if there is the possibility my battery is bad. like maybe it has a bad cell or something. hell ive heard of bad batteries being sold too. so im gonna see what the scoop is on that.
