Skylark Electrical Problem
I have a 1997 Buick Skylark 3.1 Liter. Thursday night on my way home from work my battery light came on, so I shut off everything electrical and limped the car home. I tested it and the alternator was bad so I replaced it. So Friday I put a new alternator in and the light is STILL ON! With the car off I am getting 12.6 Volts out of the battery, and with the car running I'm getting 12.4 Volts out of the battery. From the alternator at idle I’m getting 1.41 Volts. When I take the car for a drive my battery light does not go out. When testing for resistance from the charging terminal on the alternator to the positive on the battery its reading 24 mega ohms, I think something is wrong there cause it should not be 24 mega ohms. Can anyone please help me with this problem? Also, does anybody have or know where I can get a wiring schematic?
