I Thought This Was a 10 Minute Fix...I Was Wrong: Jeep XJ Charging Troubleshooting

The "easy fix" isn't always the right one! After delay in progress on the jeep build due to moving homes, we're back at it. I thought I would be moving on to more fun projects, but the GEN light randomly popped on and the XJ wont charge. After fighting through routing the new belt on without removing the fan or shroud, I thought I had it back on the road. A quick electrical test proved otherwise. Looks like i need a new alternator after all. Please subscribe so you don't miss the next step of the build to improve this '96 Jeep XJ.
