Subject:Alternator won't charge battery until high rpm
From:Markus Benne

I've noticed a behavior where the alternator will not charge the battery (and no alternator light is on) until I hit a high rpm.    Then I hear a relay click and the voltage jumps to 13.4ish volts and the battery is charging normally.
My usual suspects are bad ground and/or a bad relay.
Someone hit this before?
Thanks,...Markus
