Alternator Adventure

[passat TS]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Well, I run out of ideas:

I installed a new alternator in my typ85. Turn the car on and it is not
charging. Panel's voltimeter shows 12V and goes down if I turn the head lights
on. I have a yellow Optima deep cycle, so one expects 12V for a long time.

1st  - I checked the D+, and it has 12V.

2nd - I checked the Alternator output and it's the same 12V (could be the
voltimeter in the panel, who knows?)

3rd  - I checked if there is a good ground on the alternator, and it does.

Is there anything else I could test?

TIA,

Carlos.
