Okay, so it took me a while, but I finally got out to check the charging system. I just want to make sure I did it right before I go out and find a new rotor.

I disconnected the battery and unplugged the alternator. After I removed the cover, I checked the resistance between the three yellow wires and got around 1-2 ohms between each. There was no reading between the wires and the case. Then, when I checked the rotor, I got a really weird reading. The numbers jumped up into the hundreds and bounced around. I'm assuming this means the rotor is shot and I need a new one?
