Battery light suddenly came on. I know little of these things.
The alternator seems to be turning.
A multimeter across the battery terminals show no effect from increasing revs.
I can't see, at a cursory examination, loose wires.
I took the connections off the top of the alternator (two eye connectors in a sandwich) and they loook clean.
There's another connector but I can't work out how to undo it... a press-on connector with one wire going up a ribbed duct, and a little green stub thing that looks like another wire broken off, but I don't think is, it seems springy, has that got something to do with how to get the plug off?.
Batter voltage (disconnected) id about 12.6v.
Any useful diagnostics possible?
I'd like to find out if the alternator's shot before just replacing it, I'm on my uppers.
