Hey guys, my 06 tdi jetta had a tensioner rattle so I replaced the alternator pulley. So I put everything back, there is no more tensioner belt rattle, spins super smooth but now I have a battery light ON and the alternator does not charge the battery at all.
I know the alternator isn't charging because I started the car and then took off one of the battery terminals and the car shots off. If the alternator was charging the car would NOT turn of if you do this.
Whats the problem now? Do 06+ Tdi Jettas have any alternator fuse or any other fuse that could be causing the alternator not to charge?
I'm thinking about taking it off AGAIN and inspecting the brushes on the alternator but before I do that I figure I ask and see if anyone has any input.
Thanks
