Putting a Voltmeter across the Battery will only tell you what the voltage is. 14.4v means the alternator was charging. A quick test to see if your altenator is okay, disconnect the Positive lead off the Battery while the vehicle is running. It should stay running,and put your Voltmeter leads on it and see your AlternatorOutput. If your engine dies your Alternator is bad.
Doc has a point if you have a bad cell you can have APPARENT Voltage but under a load it causes actuallyhas allot less available voltage, wait "PERSNICKETY"voltages, had to use that.

RE: electrical problem!!!!
That sounds like what they did to me when they replaced my radio, I had no idea the radio controled so many other things.They NEVER reprogramed the dang thing before they returned the truck and when I got home the door chime about blew out your ear drums among other things. The dealer was an hours drive away so I took it to another dealer, told them the problem, and 10 minutes later it was fixed. Seems like the other dealers "wrench" was trying to maximize his flat rate time sped through the job without completing the set up. Guess who's NOT going back to dealer #1 again?

RE: electrical problem!!!!
These people are idiots!! I was told to look in my manual on how to program personal preferences, I will be dam well surprised to see a section on how to program the door locks to unlock when put in park. I'm waiting for the service manager to call back!!![/align]
