Front Alternator Inoperative
Thanks, Ernie.
Great minds think alike. I too had conducted a search of the SOAP site, using the word "alternator", and there's some great stuff in there, but I'm not sure I want to pay a mechanic to wade through all those many postings. That's why I am looking for a comprehensive article.
If anyone has GMAs' article on the electrical system archived, he/she would do us all a great favor by making it available by email upon request.
In the posting you cite, Alternators....Regulators... and here we go again..., GMAs says: some times the alternators have whine or ripple associated with them... how do we know.. we measure it with a AC volt meter... It can mess up your regulators ... regulation... yep... can make one seem out of adjustment.... when its not...
That reminded me, about the time the front alternator inoperative light came on, I heard a rippling whine in the headset. Is this what GMAs meant in his posting? If so, what is the cause and wht is the remedy? Does anyone know?
Best,
GJ Humphrey
