Default Unknow electrical issue with the charging system...need help asap!!!

Hey, I drive a 2002 trans am. I was driving earlier in the day before I broke, however I noticed that when the blinker was depressed that it would take around 10 second pause in between flashes. I just blew that off as a loose connection. (I have no idea if this is pertinent to the situation but I thought I should include). The alternator is not given charge I check the connection and I just had this brand-new alternator dropped in and it not even three weeks ago a new battery. so I have no idea what's going on I have checked every connection leading from the alternator to the car and the battery. I jumped the car off and just watched the volt meter just slowly go down. Idk the problem I need y'alls help!

If you do a search of the site, you'll find many people with similar problems. You'll probably want to start with your exciter wire.

It probably is the alternator. The parts store fbody alternators are notorious for being bad
