I have traced my no charge/no alternator light to no continuity from the DF connection on the alternator wiring harness (at the relay board) to ground. I hope it is a broken 30 year old wire and not a broken 2 year old alternator.
Is it possible to remove the back from the alternator without removing the alternator from the car? If so, how much trouble and time am I in for? Thanks in advance for any help or misdirection (either works for me) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Thanks for the replies.
It is deffinatly NOT the relay board. I unplugged the alt harness from the relay board and measuerd resistance from the DF connection on the alt harness to the engine and got infinite resistance. I am hoping it is the harness. It seems that the light works and the alt charges every now and then, but almost never if the car has been run and is still warm. Guess I will have to remove the alternator either way. I was just trying to avoid removing the heat exchanger, etc. jsut to unplug the alt wiring harness (lazy always wins out in my book) Thanks again |
