Stage 1 ID of a dying alternator 200

posted by  someone claiming to be chris on  Sun Feb 29 12:16 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I'm trying to argue against the problem beign the alternator. The alt. went out on my '85 DL and has yet to be replaced. My car appears to be charging, so I think the alternator ia okay. I hope. I had sections of the main wire harness replaced a week ago. Since a whole new harness cost $800, we figured it would be better to chop out an replaced the fried sections. The problems started after the chop-and-replace job on the harness, so I'm going to point fingers at that before the alternator. Also, my mechanic informed me that he did not solder the new sections to the old sections, so I'm assuming this might be the cause of the problems. We took the car back in and hopefully when the harnesses have been soldered together it should solve the problem.
