I have a 1995 toyota pickup, I was recently driving in and the lights started to dim and the radio shut off, I assumed it was my alternator so I replaced it. I took it for a drive after i installed the new one and it did the same, So I had it checked and they said it was good, But I cant figure out whats going on with it, It only reads 12 volts while its running any suggestions would be great..

If its not 13.5 volts and above the alternator is not doing its job-get both the battery and alternator load tested. Double check all connections at Batt and Alty
