Crazy ground noise after alternator replacement
I recently replaced my oem hitachi alternator with another hitachi alternator from rockauto. Alternator was replaced due to prolonged dimming of headlights/int lights while turn signal or brake pedal was applied. Install went well, still have a brief half second pause in headlights vs 2 to 3 seconds or constant dim when brakes are applied. Battery tested at 12.8v car off, 14.3v ish running. I did the scotty kilmer ground test and alt showed same as battery on body of alt. Also i have the craziest ground noises. I had just the aftermarket radio speaker ground noise before new alt. but now i have ground noise coming through the window switches, all 4.. only when in use, I can hear the noise coming through ac fan switch and blower when in use. no codes, belt is new and taught ,no noise coming from alt itself. I tried adding an extra ground cable to ground post in front of alt. no change. I ordered a new alt harness and will reinstall alt when that arrives and make sure the alt mount points are clean. Had bad valve cover leak Any input is welcomed and thank...btw !995 SE 5spd 103k
