Electrical Gremlin has the Z down.
Got the dreaded Charging System Fault.
Replaced the alternator since it was smoking. No Joy. Took it to Advance, they ran the diagnostic. Not getting a charge to the Battery. Alternator was bench checked. Checked good. Thoughts? |

Since it was smoking have you checked the associated wiring connected to the alternator? Battery? Belt?

Pull the battery and check cables, maybe battery is leaking acid onto something.

It is an overly in-depth video by a slow talker. However, it is a great explaination of cleaning the PCM connection.
