put 3 dif alternatora,last one is new, but they all only put out 12 volts or so. new battery as well. the lights r dim and it doesnt have enough power to even run the radio. also, when i put the pedal to the floor, the battery light comes on. another problem that arose after i put in the new alternator was that my horn is constantly on. i had to unplug it so now i have no horn.

Test all the fusible links, multi-purpose fuse no.4 10amp, if all okay next place to check is the computer controlled of the alternator field generation.
