I've written on a few posts that I've been having a charging problem with my Newport. While driving it I have lost the alternator - total discharge. I put in a new Voltage regulator; problem lasted till my second drive. Replaced the Alternator; same result. I found a loose wire by my battery; made the car shut off. Fixed that and same result.
So I jiggled the wires going into the starter relay, and I got the alternator back!! Until the next time I drove it. (Thanks to those of you who corrected me when I called it a bulkhead connector!)
So, I bought a new relay from Rockauto. I put in on today - Whoo-Hoo! It's charging like mad!!
BUT!!! Will it last? I've been excited three times before. I am driving the car to Oroville tomorrow with my wife. I am hoping all will be well. I'll let you know!
