The tester at the FLAPS must have the correct set of jumpers for the way a Bosch alternator is set up. If it is not connected correctly to the tester, it can easily read a false good or bad for output. The person doing the hooking up must also understand the correct set-up, and have done it right. There is apparently a difference between a standard Bosch alt. and a standard Amuricin alt. Go figure....

  Don't jump to conclusions based on one test. I once took a Bosch alternator
from a SAAB 900 to four different FLAPS for testing. Two said "bad", two
said "good".
