feel the love? charging problem (pl510er at comcast.net)

Ed:

You should have more that 10.43V (more like 13.5V?) at the
charge/blue/exciter wire (if that's what I am thinking) while the engine is
running.  Just for the sake of checking the alternator, I'd feed a positive
12V wire to it to see if the alternator begins to charge or not.  If not,
I'd say the alternator is bad.
