Such ain't the case. I had a BAT light on my '94 once. Put a multimeter on the Field Output on the alternator, and got no reading. Bad alternator - right? Put on a new PREMIUM built unit, and didn't even test it (wasn't a daily driver). Couple days later, was in the mood for a cruise, and pulled the trigger. BAT LIGHT. HUH? Chased EVERYthing with a multimeter for 3 1/2 hours, then a buddy at Advance said maybe a fuse is popped. Can't be, I said. Ain't the first time I was wrong, probably won't be the last either.

Re: Alternator killer
Problemo solved,although the bat wire connector was firmly crimped to the insulation, but it had cracked and bent and no longer contacting the wire. I replaced the connector....14.4 volts
