...... When replacing an alternator especially with a remanufactured, ALWAYS have the "new" one tested before installing it. You could get a bad one.

Autozone will test alternators for free.

I put one on my C220 last night without testing it first and Murphy's Law happened. It was from a local store cuz I needed it - now!

I also put one in on my 85 300D (80a) but this time had it tested first and passed the test.
