I need to check the alternator with my meter but I have no experience in doing this.Any guidance is greatly needed.I am doing some self-educating online with how to do this but some advice for fellow mustang owners would be just as helpful.
Oh...incase you are wondering why?the voltage gauge on my cluster moves back and forth regularly.The voltage gauge goes between the "R" and the "A".I have checked the belt as well the tension on the belt.I have noticed that one of the PO's did some work on the wires at the alternator(see pic) so I am thinking that wires are not making a good connection where the splice is.Before I go tearing into the old repair I would like to check the alternator with my meter.
