Thank you for the follow up, I am going to see if I can check that myself with a multimeter.
A dead alt. isn't the end of the world, I was looking to do some sort of upgrade eventually anyway.
Anyone have a plug and play alternator upgrade suggestion? I've seen folks mention the Saab upgrade, but those don't seem to be as plentiful anymore.
