I think my alternator has died
« on: 22 August 2009, 18:11:24 »
Flat battery one morning this week, managed to get car started by jumping it, ran it for half an hour to put some charge in the battery, switched it off, then wouldn't start again. Charged battery overnight on battery charger, started fine next morning, later that day, alternator light came on on dash and has stayed on since....

BTW, I'd test the battery regardless. When its on the car and its running, put a voltmeter over the battery terminals. it should read around 14.5v.

Battery tested with car running and not, 12.6 volts in both cases, guess that means the alternator is fubarred... >:(

It's either brushes or regulator/rectifier open circuit.
