gday fellow auszookers... My quick question. Can connecting the wires back to front on the exciter of an altenator cause it to charge the battery at 17.4 volts??? Cheers |

Have you got a multimeter? Fire the thing up with the meter hooked to it and check? |

internally in the alternator? or by back to front you mean swapping the sense wire and the indicator light into the back of the alternator? |

It can cause damage to the regulator.. Sounds like that may have happened. |

ok so i managed to get on the computer lastnight and have a good read over the tech advice on installing one of these alt's. I do have the sense wire and batt light wire the correct way around now the problem im faced with. For some reason at idle i have almost no voltage coming from the alt it sits around 12.4 volts. The second you give it a little throttle the charge jumps up to 18+ volts. Ive tried it whilst under load (spotties and hibeams) on and it makes neglidgable difference i assume this could mean the regulator is fried??? Any help or confirmation would be appreciated |
