Had that problem after my Coupe sat for a year. You can 'excite' the alternator if it has been lost. I just looked up 'How to excite alternator' on YouTube. Pulled off little black cap on top of alternator and touched wire from output connection on back of alternator to the outside lead. Problem solved.
