well 99% of posters here, (same squawk) did all that wrong. (endless posts same acts wrong) 2 ways wrong./ (never scanned the PCM first) and did not check all fuses next) The service job done wrong is next) and last worse yet, did not do step one in all service manuals on Alternator page, failed to disconnect the nEG lug of the battery first. doing that wrong blows 1 to 5 fuses, even the 50 to 150 huge fuse or worse worse, the 120amp fuseable link is blown. (this case) blowing the up will make the new alt dead 2 ways 1: it can not connect to the battery lug Plus. 2: and worse yet the cluster lamp lies or acts dead. or lies. xD specifics , reading the service manual to you now the schematic speaks volumes if you lookedself contained regulator in side ALT, a good dead that.! wow 5 fuses to blow up a 60amp fuse blows 120amp fuse blows the 120 blows if battery is not unplugged firstif blown alterator is now dead. (off line 100%)
tthe 120amp keeps from blowing up a battery if it shorts.*(and they do)the 120amp also prevents alternator fire when those pesky 3 phase diode packs short out, fires near fuel are never ever fun.there you go all causes and why. a volt meter finds all this ,measure all 5 fuseS see Nhear, 12vdc both ends of fuse or it IS BAD13v to 15vdc engine runningbut your car Alt is dead so voltage is 11 to 12vdc. and discharging fastJUST ONE $15 METER AND OMG SEE THE TRUTH OF ALL THIS.FAST/
