Okay, so my swap is done. No CEL lights. Only a couple minor things, but they have all been fixed...except for one. My friggin' alternator won't hold a charge. And I know you're thinking, eh, you need a new alternator. Well, we've had it bench tested and it says that it's in perfect working order. I took it to a Honda/Acura "Specialist" only for him to tell me my alternator didn't work...No ****. I still had to pay.

So, my question is..am I missing something? Is there something between my OBD II(2) wiring harness and my OBD II GSR motor that's not allowing the alternator to turn on? Were there wires that we had to switch around but did not know of? It's starting to drive me crazy, seeing as I have to charge my car wherever I go.

Please help me out.
Thanks guys,

Craig.

 

don't you know a friend that has an extra alternator? Sometimes, benchtests don't work as wanted.

 

It might just not be connected correctly. If the computer isn't triggering it it won't turn on, and if it's not charging the battery the computer won't notice either (far as I know). Teken, I know you have more info on this... you're the electrical system guy...
