check to see if the alt. is actually grounding to the engine and battery, run the vehicle and check voltage at battery, should be 14.5 volts or so if not run a ground from alternator to battery, then run a live
try to check the wirings and also the fuse. If the fuse is busted sometimes this things happens. I experience this also with my car I replace the fuse and now everything is working properly.
Check your altenator. Mine had the same problem blew all the front headlights, running lights. My altenator was over charging the system. Sounds like you need a new altenator. Pull the bulbs to see if they are blown..if your lucky the fuse just went. Fuses #15,16,17,18 located beside the battery may just be blown also.
I would check the altenator again. if you didnt disconnect the battery and a spark shot off while installing the new starter it could have decharged the spool on the inside of the altenator to where the spool no longer charges. if you have the altenator checked for consistant charging and it comes up good check the relay for the altenator it most like will have messed up the relay. to make a long solution short check the relay for the altenator it will be in the relay box under the hood.
This sounds like the altenator belt is loose. When the altenator is under a load the magnetic field causes the altenator to require more fource to rotate. At higher engine rpms the belt can be slipping on the altenator pulley. There is one other possibility I can think of and that would be that the voltage regulator is faulty and and causing an overvoltage at higher engine speeds and therfore opening up the field circuit to prevent the altenator from over charging the battery this is a safety function of the regulator. I would check the belt first.
Altenator not charging.Start the truck up and pull the possitive cable off the battery and if it stay's running then the altenator is working right but if the engine quits the altenator is no good
well for starters your altenator is bad because what it is dolinging is over charging the battery hence why it boiled off the water/acid in the battery. the regulater is intergrated into the altenator. there is not a short because numberone your car would not start and two your battery would explode. i never test a battery or altenator at a store like napa or Oreilly's because they are not mechanics ......they are parts guys. your altenator should charge the battery at no more than 14 volts and the average is 13.5 volts. you need to replace the altenator the reason why you are losing a charge is be cause as the car is running the battery is being discharged because the regulator is defective in the altenator. please rate this thanks
