Bring you up to speed: I recently have had problems with engine run on after the key is turned off. Along with this the generator and oil light comes on as soon as you connect the battery. Everything electrical works but the alternator does appear to be putting out a higher voltage than I remember 14-15 volts at idle).
I came across this blurb on the bird board alternator troubleshooting: Alternator indicator lamp is on with key off. Alternator has failed, and diodes have shorted out. Replace alternator and in the meantime, disconnect battery to prevent complete draining of the battery. After a frustrating day ripping my car apart looking for bad grounds etc, this sounds like my problem is with the alternator. Would a bad relay board cause this? Which alternator/regulator would you buy? How big of a job is it? The reason I ask, I have a spare 2.0 in the garage with alternator and complete relay board. Is it worth the time to see if it works? Sorry for all the questions...I just don't want to start replacing parts hoping for a fix. Thanks, Mark |
