o.k. i got my battery charged and the car starts fine and runs fine, but i don't think the alternator is charging the battery. at idle, the voltage started at 11.95 and dropped to 11.85 in 5 minutes. i had the alternator checked last week and it was o.k. i've been trying to check the wiring. all the wiring seems to be o.k. i'm pulling the alternator back out to have it checked again. any more ideas? one plug on the alternator has 2 thick black wires w/ orange stripe. do those suppy the charge to the battery?
