yes cobra jeep it is for my lx. it wont charge and the battery light is on. if i unplug both connectors on the alternator and have it run, it says my snap on meter that it is putting out 55 volts at 4000 rpm.....

you probably fried your alternator, get a new one.

BTW damn your name is long.

the alternator is making the power out of the alternator with the connectors unpluged, so that makes me think that it still works, is there a fusible link that if it breaks will make the alternator not charge.....

rob...i have a couple alternators here that you can take your pic from. if one of them works for you, you can have it. since my xmas present to you was to let you race the 93 beater, ill just give you an alternator.
