Easy/Free tech tip!!

Use a screwdriver to test the Alternator while it's running. Put the screwdriver on the back of the alternator. If the alt is charging it will act like a magnet and attract the screwdriver or any other metal object. It won't tell you exactly how much it's charging like a volt meter but it will let you know whether it's low or not charging at all.
