Charging System out to lunch...

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just wonder if you have put a multimeter switched to  dc volts across the 
posts of your battery while the car was running? It will tell you 
immediately if the alternator is charging or not. Should read between 14 and 
14.5 volts DC while running if your battery is low.
