An inexpensive fusible link can
be the cause of having less than 12 volts going to the alternator.
If a belt is worn…
It can slip and cause low
output on the alternator. This can cause problems such as a partially
charged battery, especially when used in conjunction with headlights and
other devices that run off the battery.
A proper diagnose
Make sure that the battery
terminal of the alternator has a minimum of 12 volts if you wish to
properly diagnose a charging problem.
:: Alternator ::
General check up
Always make sure of proper
tension of the alternator’s belt, wiring connecting to the alternator,
its proper mounting, and state of the drive pulley.
Alternator's sake
You will need a fully charged
battery for the alternator to operate properly.
