Just replaced the alternator but the brake and battery lights are still on.Plus my battery is only charging below 10 volts.The alternator is a remanf. one.I took the alternator off and had it checked at the auto parts store.They said it tested good but why is it not charging.I also have a new battery in my passport.Do you think it would be best to take the alternator off and just buy a new alternator

    It's best to have the alternator checked while on the car. You may have a wiring problem and that cannot be checked while the alternator is out of the car.
