Two weeks or so ago I announced that my alternator was working again after changing out the ignition switch which had lost a small spring out of it. Well I have the same issue not getting a charge out of the alternator.

New development with what is happening. 12+ volts (battery state of charge) at the 12ga. wire. With ignition on I have .2 volts less than battery charge on resister wire. When I plug into ports 1 and 2 voltage drops to 4 volts on resister wire and no output from alternator when engine is started.

Had Napa check alternator out and it passed. Replaced alternator in coached with known good alternator, same results. Bowered a never installed rebuilt alternator with the same results.

Any ideas as to what is causing the voltage drop?

Checked resistance of wire and got 10.4 ohms.
