How to bench test alternator
#1
Hi,

I have an alternator from a 98 sidekick kicking around here that I can’t remember if it’s good or not and I was going to sell it  to someone. If I put a drill on the pulley nut and spin it, with the ground lead of my tester on the alternator body and the positive lead on the big stud I only show about 0.5 volts. I know some alternators need to be wired up a certain way to show charging. Not sure if this is the same. I looked at your diagram and was wondering if the charge “sense” circuit needed to be recreated.

Thanks!
