Ok Neon guys again...

[quote=“neonglh,post:17,topic:24348"”]

Neon’s don’t have serpentine belts :stuck_out_tongue: The harmonic balancer will have two belts on it (assuming it has all of the accessories still), and the timing belt is in the cover.

Anyways, did you ever consider putting in another battery for the ability to bring it to autozone, and let them test it? They can tell you if its the alternator, a bad ground, or a wire.

I’d check the factory ground points. No matter what, good or bad, remove them, sand them down, and put them back on. Wash the battery terminals off with water and baking soda, and then re-tighten them. Then, check to make sure the engine - chassis grounds are good.

Then, check the belts, there should be 2 visible, so if there arent, then a belt is thrown. Pulling the alternator is not too hard, its only held on by 2 bolts. Just loosen the tensioner, pull off the belt, remove the 2 bolts, remove the alternator. If you get it out, you can bring it to advance auto and they can test it on the machine, to see if its good.

Finally, check the wires going to the alternator. There is a power wire, and then a 2-wire plug, that controls the external voltage regulator.

That should be enough diagnosis and fixing to take care of everything buddy.

1 belt was chewed, already got the new alt, and belt and the old ones almost off, so might as well since its already coming off.

But yeah thanks for the advanced troubleshooting lol.
