Tell Scotty down in the engine room that the brushes are worn out. Happens every 100,000 miles or so. They are too short to pick up the small current generated at low speed, do better at higher speed.

Easy fix. Get a new set (includes voltage regulator unless you have an older model with external regulator) from fpcgroton.com, or alloemparts.com or swedishengineering.com your local dealer.

Easiest to replace with alternator out of car, but can be done in situ. If you pull it, take the opportunity to replace all three rubber bushings (one is in the tensioning bracket).

When installing, remember to connect the ground wire.

Good Luck,

Bob
