I have a 96 Jeep Cherokee that will only charge intermittently.
When started it does not charge and the voltage gauge reads 12V
After driving 15 minutes it often will begin to charge and the voltage gauge will read the proper 14V.
Alternator has bench tested fine at 3 separate auto stores
Battery has bench tested fine at 2 different auto stores
Serpentine belt is tight
No check engine light or error code.
"GEN" light does illuminate when it isn't charging.
Battery contact and connections have been cleaned.
Alternator and battery wire are on the same post in front of the fuse box eliminating the 110amp fuse or wire subject to safety recall 658.
Thanks!
