1987 Buick Regal 200 miles
I've tried 2 new Alternators on this vehicle. The first one lasted about a month I purchased from Auto Zone. I checked after installing and it was putting out 14 volts. The way I can tell is that my signal lights would start blinking really slow. I check the Alternator and it wasn't putting out any voltage. I ordered another new alternator (AC Delco). Install it, check voltage,it was putting out 14 Volts. four days later I notice my signal lights was blinking slow again. I check the Alternator and again it wasn't putting out any voltage. I took both alternator to the part store to have them tested. They both pass the test 3 times. I came back and put i on my car..no Voltage.
Things I've done and check. I've check all wires going from alternator to battery, from battery to starter and engine ground. The battery is new, the starter is new, the belt is new, the belt tension is new and all the battery cables are new. Gentlemen, what is the problem here?
