He already tested the battery and it was good. He can use the meter to test the alternator. They are cheap and it is easy. You may want to read the entire thread before making a worthless post.

Well the fuse isnt blown well the only fuse that has alternator in it is alternator solonoid valve which is not blown im thinking it might be the volt regulator which is making it kill the battery that bad or its serious drain .

Oh and another thing my cooling fans i guess you call it are connected directly to the battery if tha makes sense i dont know if that would cause a prblem or not theres just two wires connected directly to the battery one to the negative then a switch connected to the positive to turn on one of the cooling fans is that ok?
