hi check the main alternator charigng wire the comes out of your alternator see if it is sending a 14v no less reading on a multimeter if not replace the alternator if so go to your battery see if the multimeter readings are the same as the alternator if so do a battery discharge test if not trace the path of the main wire which comes from the alternator to the battery for breaks and all connections yates210456

well are you sure that you have a good or it just shows the correct
amount of voltage. which that should 12.6 volts for a fully charged
battery. to actually answer your question, (assuming)
you do have a good battery your alt. shouldn't keep it from cranking
unless it is locked up, but you would use a digital volt meter and
select the d.c. volts setting touch the red (positive lead) to the red
(positive post) on the battery and the ground ( black lead ) to the
ground terminal on the battery (negative post). it should read very
close to 14 volts. if not check to see if you are getting voltage to
your alt. by using your volt meter to test the power wire going to your
alt. it will be the one on the backside of your alt with a protective
boot over it. with your volt meter still set on dc volts touch your
black lead lead to a good ground and your red lead to your power wire
going to your alt. it should have 12 volts there. if not check your
fuses. if your car clicks when you try to start it then you may have a
bad battery connection. dirty terminals with corrosion built up on them
will do the same thing. also a starter that is bad will click because
the bendix can't kick out to engage the flywheel to turn your engine
over. well hope i answered your question and then some.
