1978 mercury-460engine--The alternator went out. I bought a new one, but the alternator light is sill on and it's not charging the battery. I had the battery, starter, and new alternator checked. They all checked out good. What do I check now?


if you had the alternator

if you had the alternator tested and it is in fact good, check the wiring from the alternator to the battery 1st .the wiring in between the 2 usually have a fusible link then check the connection to the - or ground. a$5 tester can be used to do this available at most parts store such autozone, pepboys ect.
