Re: Recent purchase

Get out your multimeter and select DC voltage. Get the engine started and while it's running touch the red lead to the large terminal on the back of the alternator and the black lead to ground. You should have 14 volts. If not, the alternator is not charging. You will need a load tester to check the battery.
