I just completed out of car test twice at Auto Zone. The machine claims the 218 K mile alternator is fine. When it was in the car it Voltmetered 11.3 volts at the X5 jump site and at the battery. Where do I go next? I have to reinstall the alternator. I didn't get to test the unit at the rear post of the alternator because I couldn't get to it without removing the M.A.F. sensor.
Histoy: 2months ago I removed the air shocks, It's only a rear air setup, but left the compressor connected- the pressure tanks were also disconnected. Could this be causing a charging problem? Is the Autozone thing wrong?
The X has been fine up until last week breakdown.
The dash lights are all on when the battery light is on, cruise doesn't work.
THe SES light is on too. The radio MID is diconnected because it supposedly had a short. Another shop said it was a module in the glove box. But for over 8 months since disconnecting the radio MID everything was fine. Then, I did the suspension upgrade to springs. Where do I go from here?
