Why are you assuming the replacement alternator is good? Have it tested.
A better question is why he assumes the original alternator is bad?
I fail to see why that's a 'better' question, but when the old alternator was in the car and not giving a charge, it was also assumed that the original problem was a defective alternator, and a defective alternator could STILL be the problem; only testing will tell.
I would think the smart thing to do would have been to test the original alternator. When you start assuming things it gets expensive. He may just have a bad connection somewhere or a burned fuse link.. Bob
