Voltage regulator/brush assembly Posted by DET17 [Email] (#1254) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DET17) on Tue, 14 Apr 2015 03:55:17 In Reply to: Not Charging, PaulM, Mon, 13 Apr 2015 20:36:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
has always been at fault on my SAABs......with the second cause being a loose/slipping belt.
What voltage are you reading at the post at 2K RPM? Should be at least 13.75V at the post, or the ALT is not charging. I'm going to presume you already cleaned the battery posts to ensure no high resistance.
I've had several in the family discharge when the VR assembly dies....brushes worn out, diodes fail, etc. etc. A PITA to change unless you have the proper tools to remove it in situ.
