How do you test an alternator for voltage?
To test an alternator for voltage, start by using a multimeter set to measure DC voltage. With the vehicle running at about 2,000 RPM, connect the multimeter's positive lead to the alternator's positive terminal and the negative lead to a good ground. A functioning alternator should produce a voltage reading between 13.8 and 14.5 volts. If the reading is significantly lower or higher, the alternator may be faulty.

How do you read the alternator guage?
The alternator gauge, often found on the dashboard, indicates the charging status of the vehicle's battery. A reading in the positive range (usually marked as "charge" or "positive") means the alternator is supplying enough power to charge the battery, while a negative reading indicates the battery is discharging, which could signal a problem with the alternator or electrical system. Ideally, the needle should stay within the normal operating range during vehicle operation. If it consistently shows a negative reading, it's important to have the electrical system checked.
