Afternoon guys! New to this fourm first post.
I just purchased a 1990 eagle talon working some kinks out of her to get it back on the road.. I recently ran into a charging issue with the altanator. Battery starts at 12.6 when started and slowly dies from there.it has a brand new altanator on it Ive had autozone check it twice they say it's good. I had the battery tested it's also good I've replaced altanator relay and fuse. Cleaned battery cables and put new grounds on nothing's changed. Can someone tell me what I'm missing??
 
I did not test the fuse. I just replaced it. And yes the yellow wire that runs from the altanator to the battery are connected to one another. I tested the yellow wire at the back of the altanator and it cares the 12.6 volts the battery is giving off. Now if I follow steps 1-5 on the thread you pasted (thank you very much for that by the way) I fail on step 5 so apparently autozone has poopy parts that test good???
 
Yea seems like it. heat seems to eat them up to. just seen a Saturn altanator and relocation kit. Gonna spend the cash and go that route I guess. Thanks a lot for the info
 
Sooo I was laying in bed last night thinking about how I tested the altanator according to this thread http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/2-minute-alternator-circuit-test.226323/ and I diagnosed it wrong im getting an #4 (a bad altanator relay or open circuit to the ignition switch) altanator relay is brand new so I think that rules that out. Is it possible the ignition switch is bad? I mean the car starts up.
