I posted here a while back with a typical charging issue. My 98 XJ would be going along fine then the check gauges light would come on. The battery gauge drop from around 14v down at 9v.
I tried charging the battery, having the battery load tested and even pulled the alternator and had it bench tested twice.
Ends up that it was the alternator after all. I finally pulled and replaced it and all my problems have been solved. I guess bench testing is not a definitive diagnosis.
I'm writing this because when I searched there were many different answers to this same question and if anyone else is like me where "electricity just happens because it's magic", I thought I'd just through this out there in case someone else has a similar issue.
Thanks for all your help.
