"...you do know that some alts will be dead, if the charge lamp is dead..."
I'll check that tomorrow.
Burnt wires are my main issue. I replaced the alternator at least twice (maybe 3 times now) but it's still not charging the battery.
I know that o'reilleys parts are not the best but I figured at least one out of two (or three) would be good.
The last one I got (under warranty), I had them bench test it first to make sure it was good and I installed it in the parking lot.
After installation, I had them check it again with their mobile testing unit and the guy said it wasn't working (bad internal regulator I think he said).
It looks like I will have to splice each burnt section of wire with good wire so I can eliminate that from the equation.
