On the 76 TR6 (well all the CF series cars) the alternator output =
(brown) wire connects to the power tap on the positive battery positive =
cable with a 3/8 QC connector. If this connector is not making good =
connection even a good alternator will not charge the battery. Check =
that out before you spend any more money.

Subject: [TR] Alternator not charging battery - 1976 TR6
Here=E2=80=99s a synopsis =E2=80=93 Almost new battery went dead. =
Charged battery and took car to shop. Meter shows alternator is not =
charging battery (only 12 volts, not 14.6 as per Dan Master=E2=80=99s =
book). Buy rebuilt alternator and the same thing happens. Swap =
alternator for a second rebuilt unit =E2=80=93 same thing, battery is =
not being charged. Tried 3 different meters =E2=80=93 all showed 12 =
volts. Hard to believe I got 2 bad rebuilt alternators. What=E2=80=99s =
wrong??
