Why wont my heater work after alternator has been changed?
The main fuse or fuseable link probably was blown when changing the alternator.
There's a slight chance the rebuilt alternator is no good.
The heater has no heat, or the blower does not work? Check all the fuses if it's the blower.
Make sure all the belts were put back on. Your %26quot;partner%26quot; may have no mechanical smarts.
Checking fuses is a good idea. Also check for any ground wires that may have broken, or been disconnected. On GMC trucks they put them on the thermostat housing, and if they were not hooked up right, you had all sorts of weird problems.
If the battery light is on, your %26quot;the car now works%26quot; statement isn't as true as you might want to think,
It's probably related to the alternator change. If the battery wasn't disconnected during the change, there's a chance the BAT connection hit a ground and took out a fuse link or fuse. Do the simple checks first - visually check all of the associated wiring and connections that were moved or disconnected during the work, Check all of the fuses and fuse links with a test light. If no concerns are found, put a volt meter across the battery - it should read 13.8-14.2 volts at 1000-1500 rpm's, if it doesn't, the alternator isn't charging.
