Pretty stumped on what could be causing this issue. Long story short, alternator had “died” on me last week. Replaced the alternator, and everything seemed to be fine and getting 13.6V , but when I went out for the second drive, the car was getting 11.8V just running on battery power, light on the dash comes on as well. It’s important to know, sometimes the car will start and run with 13.6V after the 2nd or 3rd try, and it will run like that until I turn the car off and try to start it again, which then it will run off battery power until I get lucky.
Battery is 2 months old, all the connections are clean. I do have all my grounds hooked up, even added some extra ones. Alternator fuse is good, even bypassed it to see if it would solve the issue to no avail. Nothing in the power wire from the alternator to the battery seems like it’s shorting out.
Alternator that was put in the car was a working AC Delco reman. And it is relocated with the Jay Racing kit, so heat isn’t really a big concern.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
Thanks, Duncan.
