Electrical problem
2004 Volkswagen Jetta 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
Long story short. I replaced my water pump on my car. Put everything back together. When I started the car the RED battery light came on. I thought it was the alternator since I noticed months before the lights dimming. So I got a new alternator and replaced it. Still doing the same thing. The alternator is not charging the car. I checked the voltage of the battery and it is draining when the car is on. I tested the cable from the alternator to the negative side of the batter and no .3 volts are coming through. Is there a ground issue? I checked fuses, connections, and such. What else is there?
