i have a 2001 jetta 155000 miles manual trans
i have charging issues
my battery would die while driving so i figured it was my alternator. i pulled and had the alternator tested and it was good.
so i pulled the battery and tested it. it was great. i disconnected my stereo and sub thinking maybe they are drawing to much. still the battery dies.
the battery reads 12.3V while off, 11.8 while on.
hooked my meter to the alternator and it read 14.2v while running. so some how power is not getting to the battery. i followed the wires they all look good. sprayed some with contact cleaner just cause but cant figure it out.
does anyone know what i can do next where can i look for a short
