My daughterpurchased a 1994 940 Turbo with 66,000 on it from her employer ( a used car lot). Three days after she bought it died on her. Her employer towed it back to work. They said it needed an alternator.They purchased a rebuilt and installed it. The car drove fine for 5 days and it died again while driving down the street. Her employer again towed it back to work.This time they said it was the battery and charged it. Four days later it died again. I was ticked off at her employer and had it towed where I get my cars worked on.They checked it out and assured me it was the alternator. They installed a remanufactured one and it drove fine for six days. Sure enough it died again. It got it towed back to the service station. I haven't heard from them yet but does anyone have any suggestions???????

 

Make sure the ground wire to the Alt is good.
Also make sure the positive terminal connection is tested. When they check for output if it is low tell them to probe the positive wire just before the terminal and see if the voltage is normal. If so then the connection at the terminal is bad.
