alternator problem? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be James 850 wagon on  Tue Mar 26 04:52 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Thanks for the advice. I'll check the ground to see if it's good. Both terminals were tight. I check with a digital VOM and found no variation from the terminal to the post on both Pos and Neg.
I did have the alt. tested in the car this morning at my local alt shop. With a load test, they said it looks like the alt is not working right. But they would want to do a bench test to see. Hopefully it's just a faulty regulator or diode. Ideally it would be just a bad ground.

Thanks for the advice.

Do you know of any tips or tricks or special tools on removing the alt on the Volvo. I've removed others on other makes, but never on a volvo.

James
