I have replaced the alternator and just keep blowing the fuse that handles the ac, suspension and a bunch of other electrical stuff. When the fuse goes, the digital dash lights go out and eventually the battery runs down because the alternator is not fully charging the battery. When the 25 amp fuse is good the alternator is putting out 14 V, when the fuse goes it only puts out about 10.5 V and consequently the battery goes dead and everything stops.
When the alternator was replaced the service station put in a battery but not a very big one, 665 CA at 32 deg and 540CCA at zero. I'm guessing it's not the battery but that is the only thing that has changed other than the alternator. I have also noticed that the self leveling suspension does not seem to be making any adjustments, could the compressor be shot. Pretty sketchy information to go on but I suppose the next step is to go to the dealer.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
