I just replaced the alternator on the 240, and it is not charging. Ground is good to the case, 12V measured at the B+ lug told me no charging. I checked the D+ exciter wire (connected to the alternator), and was reading 1.6V. I disconnected it, turned the car on and got 12V. Re-connected it to the lug and again 1.6V after startup. Disconnected it from the case, turned the car on and it measured 12V again. I then touched it to the lug and I believe the alternator turned on, and the reading stayed at 12V on the voltmeter.
Thinking the lug was possibly grounding to the case, I checked that and added a plastic washer for the hell of it. Still reads 1.6V when attached after startup.
Any ideas?
