My '96 XJ only reads about 12v at the battery when it's running. I know the voltage regulator is built into the ECM, is there any way to confirm the alternator is broken rather than the voltage regulator? I REALLY don't want to replace the alternator and then find out the voltage regulator is bad. The bearings on the alternator still seem fine. The battery and cables have been replaced recently, so it's not them.
Also, how long would you think it would take a novice (me) to change the alternator? It looks like I just need to remove the belt and two bolts, and it's out. It can't be that easy, can it?
