I’m guessing it has something to do with the bsd line

Solved: hopefully for awhile

I already replaced the alternator and it wasn’t charging but I was going to put the old alternator back in and then start diagnosing again but I decided before I do that to get it tested. It failed but I felt like the guy don’t know what he was doing but anyway I decided to put back the new alternator back in one more time and for some reason this time it worked and it’s charging great now. I guess I just may have installed it wrong the first time. Or maybe I just had too high hopes the first time and this time I was expecting it to not work. But hopefully this isn’t an intermittent problem. For now I have a cheap Amazon alternator in until my Bosch one from fcpeuro will come in.
