Hello-I have replaced my alternator 3 times since I have owned this car. I think it is the grounding point where the cable is attached to the chassis. Lots of road slim can get to this area and interfere with continuity. I have attached another ground cable to the engine block to ensure grounding is good. Why does the alternator keep failing.... I have heard another solution is to make additional charging wire to the battery so you can rule out wiring harness. Is this a good solution??? Many thanks to all who reply
