New question: is there a coating somewhere on the alternator that would prevent it from operating until it is worn off?

I just checked again and now with the brights on and the heater fan on high the gauge in the car is reading over 13 and a reading between the alternator and the battery is 14.2 at just above idle.

So I guess it is working.

Well the voltmeter is still reading between 12 and 13 (both gauge and VOM). So I put a new alternator on it. Well, it is still reading about 12 volts.

I did clean the battery terminals.

Any suggestions on what I should look at next?

Thanks
