So yesterday, I got a new alternator manufactured by Bosch (All Factory New, not rebuilt). Immediately, the batery light was lit, the headlights and dome lights are super bright. I tested the output at 1500 RPM, it is 16.7 volts. I checked for AC Bleed and there is no AC Voltage detected with meter. Also, it sounds like the same squeak is coming from this new alternator.
Any suggestions? It seems like a regulation issue, but I do not have funds for a PCM. I am exchanging alternator under warranty for another new Bosch. I will test voltage right away. I don't look for anything to change. I don't want to burn up my electrical system.
