ok dumb question but here goes 2002 ic bus dt466 alternator has two wires one white ground one red power the white has ground and the red has 12v bus not charging alternator is bad right? but its brand new
2002 + IC makes me think the words: Junk Instument Cluster Failure. Has a reading been taken at the alternator to verify that it is not charging, or are you going by the gauge in the bus?
yea i took reading right from the back of alternator i was thinkin cluster at first to cause those things are garbage but it reds 12v while running right at back of alternator just seems strange new one and its bad??????????
Stranger things have happened. If you have voltage at the red wire in the plastic connector and the ground you should be charging. This is a Delco alternator right? If so pull the plastic connector and put it to full field to test it.
Wayyy back in the day on the L/N JB's we would sometimes have to flash the field first time out. Bad alt out of the box? Not usually. I suppose it could happen. What was your original issue? Reman or New? Bosch, LN, Delco-Remy?
