Strike 2
^ Surprisingly, it the Swift alternator fit perfectly -- same mounting holes and pulley. Even the field control connector is the same. The diameter of the housing itself is smaller though - I suspect it has a lower output.
Unfortunately, it also didn't fix the problem - still no charging. Crud.
Next up: I'm going to pull the alt off the Firefly and try THAT one. Am I barking up the wrong tree at this point?
Should have done this sooner, but I also checked continuity to battery positive and ground through the cable & alternator housing. A-OK.
Plan C? D? There's a 2014 Mirage 5-speed for sale in Toronto with a $2600 asking price. I've never really liked this Metro.
