Check your connection. Make sure they are clean and tight. Especially your ground. Check it at the battery, alternator, motor, and frame. When you replaced that alternator, there was the heavy wire that connects to the bottom of the alternator via a nut. This connection has a rubber boot to protect it from shorting out because there's very little room around it when it's mounted in place. Check that this connection/wire isn't shorting out in that area.
have the alternator and the battery checked
your voltage reg is built into the alternator
14.3 to 14.6v dc
The ignition switch may lead to low voltage on a 1994 Chevy Cheyenne with a new alternator and a fairly new battery.
the voltage regulator is built into the alternator, check voltage at battery connections should be 14.5 volts
Have you measured the voltage across the battery with the engine running? It should measure approximately 14v. If not you want to replace your alternator/voltage regulator. Check your shop manual to see if you can open the alternator and replace the brushes. After so many miles the brushes wear down, this is the most frequent cause of alternator failure. there is a fusable link in the line between the battery and the alternator i replaced the battery and alt. but still wouldn't charge track the wire
there is no alternator on the 1992 Lumina its all electric, so there is no need for one.
test the voltage on the battery first, then on the alternator. If its good then it could just be the diode in the alternator. I would suggest you replace it becuase eventually your alternator will die and the battery will not get charged leaving you stranded somewhere. It is possible to just be a battery but you wont know unless you have the battery tested. check the voltage on the battery and the alternator before you do anything else.
Bad battery, bad alternator, short in wiring harness, bad accessory always on (radio etc.).
Had the same problem. Bought a re-conditioned alternator, turned out it was bad. Usually if battery draining, it's alternator or battery or both.
Could be the starter.
The alternator on a 95 Chevy Lumina 3.4l is replaced by disconnecting the wiring harness, loosening the retaining bolts, and removing the serpentine belt. The alternator can then be unbolted, removed, and a new alternator installed.
