I have reason to believe my daughter's '07 Santa Fe may be having alternator problems. I replaced the battery just last month. I have been researching online about symptoms and such. Is using a multimeter the best course of action to test an alternator--the reading should ideally be around 12.6? I also read about running the car and disconnecting the negative battery terminal (if the car stops, you likely have a problem with the alternator). Is this second method still a recommended test, or is it outdated?
Thanks!
