All fuses and ground have been checked and are fine. The new alternator is putting out 11.97v, so for some reason the alternator is not being told to charge the battery. Now we're suspecting a computer module has gone bad. Anyone have experience with these symptoms?

Today the repair shop called and said they find duct tape on the ecu module wiring. We're the original owners. Why would anyone be messing with the wires in this area? Airbags were replaced with the huge airbag recall
