Charging system light on

Post by Tiberius »

I just purchased a 99' S70. It drove well at the dealer but when I took it home about half way of a 30 minute trip the charging system light came on... It was towed back to the dealer and they claim they can not recreate the light coming on, but the more you drive it during the day the worse the problem gets. It gets to a point that accessories shut off when force is applied to the throttle. The dealer claims it is a new altenator and it clearly is.

Any sugestions?
