To me it sounds like the alternator isnt working. 12.19 volts running and 12.56 off....should be in the 14 volt range running. Have you probed the charge post of the alt while running to see what voltage its putting out? Maybe the main charge wire got fried?

Should I put the new one on and see if that is a fix?

Or is this just step one for testing?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

There are multiple connections to the alternator, and I don't know which one this is. Would you mind letting me know which wire you are talking about?
