it's not the alternator. we changed it and now it's charge is reading below the norm when started. we think it's a shortage or wire problem. the problem is what or where can we check? we checked the fuse under the hood and in under the dash. can you give me any and all info on this matter. going nuts..

thank you

Hi ginarox,

If the charging voltage at alternator main mast and battery terminals are below 13.5, the alternator is bad or the beltings are loose, the crankshaft pulley is faulty.
