Rexrolla Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Posted July 30, 2013 Just for anyone who has the same issue. This is what I did (thanks to the help of the people above! attachment=107166:image.jpg] Quote
Rexrolla Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Posted July 30, 2013 Well, she lives! But If it isn't one thing, it's the other. The alternator seems to be not working. Yay. Quote
altezzaclub Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 See if it has 12V being fed in when you turn the key on. If it has then its probably internal... brushes or diodes, both replaceable. Quote
Rexrolla Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Posted July 30, 2013 How do I tell If 12v is being put it? Quote
carbonboy Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 You would use a multi-meter, commonly & cheaply available at pretty much any auto/electronics shop. E.g - Repco, Bursons, Jaycar. :) Like one of these: http://search.jaycar...meter&view=list Quote
altezzaclub Posted July 30, 2013 Report Posted July 30, 2013 Get the top one in Luke's link, that's what I've got. $10 well spent... Google up on altys until you understand how they work (pretty simple) and work out which wire is which on yours. Then disconnect the wires from the alty and turn the key on. Check each wire with the multimeter to earth and see if the excitor is live. Quote
