My 2003 is having charging systems issues. I have the version of 2003 that does not have the 1.9 fuse for the alternator, there is battery voltage at the #3 (orange/ blue stripe) terminal of the alternator but with a fully charged battery it's only putting out the same 12.2ish volts at the BAT lug, I bought a reman alternator from Amazon, they swear they test, retest and triple test them six ways to Sunday before they send them out but with the new alternator installed its still not putting out. So unless I'm missing something the only thing left is: I was sent a faulty alternator, the wiring from the alternator plug to the PCM is faulty or the PCM itself is faulty. Because of my schedule it's hard for me to get into a shop to have the alternator tested, but I may have to do that, before I do that though I'd like to check the wiring. Does anyone know where exactly those connect to the PCM? Or is there something I have missed?
Also, this is a 227,000 mile truck but everything else works perfect, so if it is the PCM the portion controlling the alternator is the only thing wrong with it.
