My battery went dead. Charged battery and it checked out good. Took it to two local shops for a battery check and both places said system not charging. I removed the alternator(pain in the A$$) and took it to the local automotive electric shop. The shop tested it and asked what was the problem because it was supplying power as designed.

Is there something else to look for on this 82 240d that would prevent the recharging from getting to the battery? The connector on the Alt & battery seemed secure.

Thank you for any help you can provide!!
