| Post subject: | Alternator Check |
Guys I had my alternator fail on me. The warning light gradually got darker and darker over a few weeks. It has since died completely. Ive also thrown in a mitsubishi brand from a ford laser and a bosch from an ea falcon since and have had the same problem of no charge. They were wired up correctly. Now before I swap for a third one, is there anything I should check on the car first that could be failing or has pick and payless just sold me a couple of of duds? |

Top tip, Easy check for this is to disconnect the small wire to the back of the alternator, poke a test light into it and turn on the ignition, dash light should come on. Is the connection at the start solenoid good? |

yeah the connections have been cleaned just in case and im changing batteries every couple of days (recharging the spare obviously) so its not just the globe. |
