Hi all. Can anybody help me with my alternator problem please? I have a 96 model 80 series with the above engine, auto trans. Every morning I start it the alternator has only 12.3 volts at the alternator. Exactly 2 minutes later the charge rate jumps up to 14.1 volts like someboy flicked a switch.
The alternator was over hauled by an auto elec. Next day exactly the same. They had another look at it the next day, same thing. They reckon new diode pack because it had a crook diode. The second time a new reg. They have had another look at it and they reckon it was a bad plug connection at the excitation wiring plug. Guess what. Next day still the same.
Me thinking three times your out.
Its been doing it for 9 months. Once it warms up it fine until you shut it down for a few hours.
Its running a dual battery system with an ABR isolator. No other mods to the wiring.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Scott
