A 2006 Lincoln Town Car has a rebuilt alternator producing dangerously high voltage (15.5-17V), and the owner needs reliable diagnosis and replacement guidance to avoid electrical damage.
Free testing at AutoZone only provides a pass/fail result without detailed voltage readings, so the owner cannot rely on it to diagnose an overcharging alternator. No bench test or multimeter use is offered, leaving the owner without definitive answers.
AltCheck Pro
AltCheck Pro is a mobile app that guides DIY mechanics through step-by-step alternator and battery diagnostics using their phone's voltage readings (via Bluetooth OBD adapter or manual input). It compares real-time voltages to specifications for their specific vehicle, provides clear pass/fail conclusions, and recommends replacement parts with links to purchase. Unlike free store tests, AltCheck Pro gives accurate, actionable results.
- Vehicle-specific voltage specifications lookup by make/model/year
- Guided multimeter test sequence with visual indicators
- Symptom-based diagnostic decision tree
- Direct links to purchase quality replacement alternators and batteries
- Report generation for shop visits or warranty claims
