12 volt alternator issue
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 10:17 pm
On the 340ih, I think the 7 year old 12 volt alternator went kapuutz worked flawless until now. I have double checked and cleaned all connections, checked battery 12.35v engine off, and 12.36 running. amp reads -draw
I have a idiot light wired in (diode) and it now stays bright red all The time with engine running at all rpm/s , usually when I rev engine to 800 rpm's the light will go out,,as alternator '' excites" and works as it should. Is there a way I can test the alternator,or should I bring it in for a bench test. any other things I can try,let me know. thanks guys,Jim
