Re: alternator problems on my diesel 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be patrick of montreal on  Wed Sep 26 01:58 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Sometimes you buy rebuilt or even new alternators and they don't work(it's happened to me). If you've tried all the suggestions take the alternator back to the store and have them bench test it (Napa does this for free) also alternators are not meant to recharge drained batteries, charge the battery fully before you hook up your alternator.

P.S> Once I took my alt., to the shop to be benched and it passed, when I re-installed it worked for 1/2 an hour and then failed again (inermitent short in the windings).
