I have replaced my alternator, fuse relay, and checked all connections and wires to check for loose connections and or breaks in wires...as far as I can see, everything is in order, but the alternator is still not charging the battery. My battery meter only reaches approximately 12 amps or so, even on a new battery, and will run for a little while during daytime hours, but can't drive it at night, once headlights go on, battery will be completely dead in a matter of minutes.
