I just read this. It was informative. Now I feel like I know what was wrong.
Anyways I am done with this. Me and Tony will deal with it privately and I will make sure everything else on my car is A OK.

AN ALTERNATOR IS A GENERATOR! How is that confusing. WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT? The first part of understanding a system is knowing your terms.
The reason its called an alternator is because of the "so called diode" or rectifier. The ablity to change A/C to DC.
Also, the rotating mass is the magnets not the coil.
ALL IN ALL
THEY Both generate electricity.
Aircraft "alternator" are different. You can't compare aircraft to cars.
Cars need the battery for various components and aircrafts don't. Most aircraft instruments work off vacuum.
J-RAT u are not a god and know it all.
Maybe santiago has a problem....the problem is his method of troubleshooting. I just don't see why we need 8 pages to discover an alternator problem. A diodes function is to keep electricity movinh in one direction. A simple multi-meter can troubleshoot this problem.
An altenator is a genator.
If you can't understand that.....you need to go to electronics 101 BASIC.

Here's the issue: this should be dealt with in private. No new info is being posted, and the info that is being posted is from people with very little electrical knowledge. It has now become a private issue between buyer and seller. I suggest the buyer take the alternator to a REPUTABLE shop (not a chain store) and have it tested. Then contact the seller when/if the alternator proves to be bad. This should have been done to begin with.
Let me make this perfectly clear: if this topic is started again, banning will be the result.
