Urgent alternator help needed!!!

ricky31290 · Nov 5, 2014

Oh yes and through the light. The buld was fine but did'nt illuminate so the wiring problem is clealy with that wire. So surly all ive done is cut out the problem?

The Mad Hat Man · Nov 5, 2014

no

yu have created a problem. the lamp is there to limit the current to the alternator.

yu really have no idea, do you? I suggest yu speak to a vehicle sparky before yu set fire to your vehicle :doh:

change yo usercp to show where yu are.

ricky31290 · Nov 5, 2014

No I really dont, hence asking on a forum for advice.

If the lamp isnt illuminated while the alternator is running how is it limiting the current?

ricky31290 · Nov 5, 2014

And what problem have I now created?

lots of info if you want to see how alts work.

you need the bulb or a suitable resistor, they aren't designed for 12v.

doubtful it'll explode into flames, but you could end up killing your alt.. which tbf isn't going to be too happy not having an exciter all this time.

all you really need to do is unscrew the two screws on the dash where the lamps are and see if the bulb is blown.. swap it for another

Ive checked the bulb and connctions and they are fine. To be honest it needs a re wire as its a mess, it has been since I had it.

So a suitable resistor in my link should do the trick?

And I know its not going to burst into flames, people do seem a bit OTT on here but im used to that now!

Yu know nothing. Just connect the power to ignition live and put a 5watt bulb in the line to the Alternator and all will be fine.

ricky31290 · Nov 5, 2014

If it gets me through this weekend then it kills the alternater then so be it. I have a new lume at the ready for it and its already well overdue.

But you still cant explain what your telling me?

And why would I want to show where I am??

The Mad Hat Man · Nov 5, 2014

What's complicated about fitting a 5w bulb in the line?

The Mad Hat Man · Nov 5, 2014

I have no intention if helping yu further. You ask the Q and then ignore advice.

On your own head be it.

trax · Nov 5, 2014

go take the lamp bit out of the dash, remove the bulb, stick multi in and check for 12v, etc . it'll be quicker or just leave it. it might work for a bit, might not.. your choice

Yeah cause Daft really needs an extra post or two :doh:

Have you ever wondered why a whole bunch of folk that know more than you and were trying to help you say 'NOOOO!'?

Must just be because they're twunts eh

When you fry yer alternator I've got another you can have for a reasonable price

It doesnt work but lets face it, that won't make much difference :doh::doh:

Well, how rude.

ricky31290 · Nov 5, 2014

What have I argued against?

People say "NOOOOOOOO" without explaining why? Like I said im not clued up on the subject so I asked for advice. None of this i have argued against I have just asked for people to explain why.

Already have a spare but thanks for that kind offer.

ricky31290 · Nov 5, 2014

And looking at his profile he has children and grandchildren but still has time to gain 67k posts!!! This is proof he is a looser.

Now Ive told you hes a douche then I have explained the reason why. Evidence to back up my statement.
