Gents,
I have had the typical electrical issues with my 1989 M998 for about 18 months. I am running a robust stereo and accessory package. Here is where I'm at currently. I had a parasitic draw that I think has been corrected. Vehicle stays on a NOCO trickle all year long.
Drove her all day Sunday, stopped to grab food...dead battery. Got it working, drove home and it no longer started. Corrected a wiring issue and had it towed to a garage to finally fix the issue. They got it running and have not had the draw since. However the new alt will not charge. It stays at 24 volts. A new alt has been ordered to swap out. What else should we be looking at? Any suggestions and links to parts if necessary, would be great. You guys have never let me down in the past. Let me know if there is any more info I can provide. Thanks
Two Optima batteries - fully charged
New Delco alternator installed - will not maintain a charge. Replaced old Delco (no damage visible)
