I finally got around to testing the alternator and battery voltage with a multimeter. Not sure if I did it right (watched Chris Fix on You tube). Without engine on battery read 12.85. Fired up the engine and jumps to 14.5. Turned it off and it drops to 13.30 and continues dropping so must be...

Totally not handy or mechanically adept. Pretty much zero mechanical experience except I have tinkered with an old Johnson 2hp outboard (meaning I watched YouTube and rebuilt a carb and replaced head gasket by watching someone else). Hoping to learn how to work on the yj but I’ll likely need...
