I found my multimeter and measured the volts at the exciter wire it was at 6.6 volts but it was low because the battery was low. So after i re did the wire i took out the alternator and brought it up to autozone and had them test it and it failed every test. I got the last one 6 months ago and i got the warranty. I walked in and walked out with out spending any money. I put the alternator in and now everything is running good again. I thought it was the exciter wire because ive had problems with it before.thanks for the help.
