Patience, We will get this figuered out. When you turn the key to the on position(not running) the volt gauge should read around 12 volts. When the engine is runing, the volt gauge should read 13 to 14 volts.that means it is charging. If the volts on the gauge is 12 volts or less, it's not charging. Ask the parts store where you bought it if the are able to bench test the alternater for you. It might be just a bad alternater right out of the box.
