Hey guys so this is my third alternator for the Cobra. I made a video showing the steps as well as diagnosing issues after install. It turns out my alternator actually was not broken. It was my plug that failed. So I just wanted to get this post out there to let others know to check your plugs if you experience a similar situation to me.

What situation? What were you're symptoms?

Battery died when sitting. I jumped the car and tried to drive and the battery died and the car stalled. I replaced the alternator. The battery voltage was dropped not rising at 11.5 volts. After wiggling the plug it returned to 13.9-14.0 volts.

You should show in the video exactly what was done to fix it. What plug? Where is this plug?
