Re: Alternator draining battery?
Test light tells me I have a drain.
First I did a diode test from a utube video. battery disconnected.
.810 with + on case and - on btty post
ol with - on the case and + on the bty post
So, I'm thinking the diodes are good?
The other tests:
battery 12.45v
Key off
Btty post of alt 12.45v
post 1 12.45
post 2 .7mv
Key on
Btty ost of alt 12.45
post 1 12.40
post 2 11.98
Just for fun, tried it with the engine on:
btty 14.4
btty post of alt 14.9
post 1 14.9
post 2 14.5
I also removed the - lead of the btty with the engine running and the engine did not die.
So does this mean that I simply got these 2 wires reversed (I hope)?
Oh, the engine has been turned on some 15 times since the conversion and has always shut right off with the key.
thanx again
