With ignition switch on and all wiring harness leads connected,
connect a voltmeter from:
1. Alternator "BAT" terminal to ground
2. Alternator field terminal to ground

A zero reading indicates an open circuit between the
voltmeter connection and the battery. Locate and repair
the open circuit.
With all accessories turned off, connect a voltmeter across the
battery. Operate engine at moderate speed.
If voltage is 12 Volts or less, repair the alternator or voltage
regulator as necessary.
