Idk what else to do...

Ok so I finally got past my problem with coolant temp switches (gave autozone 5 tries before I gave up on them getting me one that worked) and the next day it seems that my alternator is going out, barely make it home before my battery gives out. I get the alternator tested and they say its good so I change the battery. Didnt change a thing. my car will run till the battery dies. tried 3 alternators and nothing seems to be making a difference. Any suggestion?

Re: Idk what else to do...

What is the voltage reading while the eng is running?Also have you connected a volt meter to the batt with the engine running?
Sounds like a wire is disconected between the alt & batt.Im just guessing though.

Re: Idk what else to do...

It was a stupid thing lol I ran my fan to a toggle switch wired off my power accessory fuse, and thats what it was. You have to run your fan to the fan fuse or you dont charge
