Here's the run down of the situation:
- Car didn't start - Jumped it and it went 10-12 miles and died at idle
- Replaced battery and eventually had to replace positive cables because they were badly corroded (sp?).
- Car ran, but battery light came on.
- Took it to Autozone, whose absent minded (didn't appear to know what
he was doing) clerk "tested" the alternator and said there was no charge/voltage coming out of it.
- Purchased a rebuilt alternator and put it on - battery light still comes on.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thing maybe the alternator (rebuilt) could be faulty - but that's a small chance. With the rebuilt alternator on, and the car running, I disconected the negative terminal and the engine died.
