I have looked at that circuit and with your answers, the only thing I come =
up with is defective voltage regulator (that is based on testing as indicat=
ed below). There really isn't much to go wrong with the alternator itself.=
However, regulators and off shore sourcing can be a real problem. If the=
y are made in china who knows if they will work or not. If the rebuilt alt=
ernators are using new stock regulators there could be a bad lot of them ou=
t there.

Actually, no they don't have the facilities. However, I have taken the 2nd=
alternator to a local auto electric shop where they tested it and it's onl=
y putting out a little over 13 volts which I do not believe is enough. I p=
lan to retrieve my original alternator and have it re-built (which I should=
have done in the first place).

Can't the parts place test the alternator off the car with their machine? =

Here's a synopsis - Almost new battery went dead. Charged battery and to=
ok car to shop. Meter shows alternator is not charging battery (only 12 vol=
ts, not 14.6 as per Dan Master's book). Buy rebuilt alternator and the same=
thing happens. Swap alternator for a second rebuilt unit - same thing, ba=
ttery is not being charged. Tried 3 different meters - all showed 12 volts.=
Hard to believe I got 2 bad rebuilt alternators. What's wrong??
