Electrical problem
1997 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a camry le that is not charging. The wiring, battery,belt, and connections are all good. The alternator is suspect but bench tested OK at O'reily auto parts. Any ideas?

Install the alternator back into the car. Drive the car back to Checker O'Reilly and have them test the entire electrical system (all battery, starter, and alternator). Alternator may have bench-tested good, but its wiring back to the battery may be faulty (somewhere that you could not see). Testing in vehicle will give you and the attendant opportunity to see the entire problem.
