Re: Alternator wont charge battery

Try disconnecting the power wire from the alternator to see if the drain goes away. I bought a rebuilt alternator recently that had a bad diode right out of the box. Killed my battery dead. When I was charging it up, I noticed that the alternator was warm to the touch, and the engine hadn't been running.
