Any ay I can check if the alternator is working?I'm just wondering if I take the gamble and try to drive it over... uuuurgh...Thanks guys,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 25/02/13 12:24 PM Share Posted 25/02/13 12:24 PM Pretty easy to test if your alternator is not charging. You will need a battery charger and a simple digital multimeter.Charge your batter until its fully charged and then watch the video below to see what you need to do. If your reading stays the same or drops when you start the car your alternator is not charging at all. Also remember to load test it as per the video to make sure it is coping with load.

Start car and disconnect battery.. If car still runs not alternator... If it stops its Alternator. Old school mechanics right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
