Took a 3 hour drive to Knoxville today. I watched the volt gauge. Seemed to be irratic. Hung at 11.4. But would jump to 13.5 for a short time them back to. 11.4. G lite was not on during the drive. After a short stop the re start is when the lite stayed on. Guage still at 11.4. I gotta get home.
Auto zone has a voltage reg. Is this a typical symptom of the easy to replace VR? |

QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Feb 3 2018, 06:07 PM)  Brushes I am going with this suggestion.....KINDA. I have slowly been working on the car. ALT is out and now it has been taken apart. Brushes actually look good.  BUT they have not been aligned properly. Not really sure how the rebuilder would be able to check that either. You can see that one was hanging over the gap. So when that happens the part that is hanging over is not wearing away properly. Not sure if it touching the 2nd contact point makes a difference, or if the unworn portion was long enough to touch the shaft makes a difference.  |

And 2: how do I retract the brushes while I insert the rotor? Adjust the brushes by moving the entire plate the brushes are on. I see the ends of at least 2 screws, maybe 3. Remove the screws and see if you can insert a couple of small washers under the plate and replace the plate. I added washers once on a motor on my furnace when the capacitor-start contacts were not closing when the motor would stop thus the motor wouldn't start. The washers moved the plate closer to the armature. For retracting the brushes, use a small wire placed through the rear of the alternator to depress the brushes while you lower the armature into the case. Then pull the wire out when installed. |
