I replaced the alternator on my 1990 Bronco II about a year ago. The battery light on my dash has been on ever since but it never seemed to be an issue until recently. Have been experiencing low power especially when the air conditioner is on. Mechanic tested battery and alternator and both came back with good reads and the belt is nice and tight. The alternator I have is a standard 65amp. Did not check the output of the previous alternator before replacing it.
My main question is would putting a higher amp alternator in possibly help with a low power issue? Could it hurt to try? Very green when it comes to electrical issues and appreciate any feedback.
