Hey...
As the title says brand new alternator is not charging at idle. I get a reading around 11.5v at idle and will climb to 14.4v by 1500rpm. Before I pull it and bring it to be bench tested, is there anything else to check? Would a grounding issue cause this? Belt is tight. Alternator is the 140amp model from BP Utah.
Thanks!
Edit.... one other note with the ignition on & engine off the speakers have a very noticeable whine. Seems to go away with engine running or at leasts gets drowned out.
