First was OEM, second was a re-maned Galant alt, and now another brand new f'n OEM alt is going out on me.
What the hell is going on with this shit.
The alt was running before a recent motor rebuild, which previously was literally like a month old. Currently running a Jay Racing relocation kit and a very small amount of electronics, a few gauges and a regular head unit, no amp, etc.
It worked for about a week on the new setup and the other day my running volts starting going down until the damn car just doesn't want to run normally any longer.
There has to be something more to this than a few drops of power steering fluid or some other BS.
I am at my wits end with the alternators and this facking car.
Is there a way I can verify the ecu electronically rather than just visually? It looks fine but I suspect something to do with the Green – Pin 41 on the ECU – Voltage Regulator FR? OR White – Pin 33 on the ECU – Voltage Regulator G? or the alt relay on the harness? Is the alt relay suppose to be grounded by the little metal bracket it bolts up with? Mine was damaged so I just let it dangle.
I am going with a gm/Saturn alt this time for the better voltage but I need to figure out what is causing this before I fry another one.
