I looked at this vehicle, keep searching unless you can get it for 6-7. They did a good job with the pictures. There is rust in a few spots on the hatch and underneath.
Well, thank you guys for the suggestions and commentary around utilizing an ammeter to measure draw.
I have now backed away from the deep end.
First test led to the amperage going down when the Charge fuse was removed.
Since the only real major change was to the alternator, I decided to...
Yeah, that's a good call on testing the batteries again just to make sure, although they are new.
Also, the ammeter in the pic has DC for volts but not Amps. Dumb. So had to buy another that does both for Amps.
The pic of continuity testing was the positive side of the lower side battery. In...
I had a few minutes go check for resistance and was surprised to see this reading out of the gate. Am I doing something wrong? Shows 0.0.
This is an AC ammeter, unfortunately doesn't have DC functionality which is why I ordered another.
Yes, the alternator was fully rebuilt. Diodes, stator, resistor, bearings, and internal regulator.
The relay is the Charge Light Relay seen in the image below.
I've printed out the FSM and I bought an ammeter via Amazon that will be here tomorrow. So I'll be testing and pulling fuses per...
Guys,
If you're like me, you REALLY like figuring things out yourself and it feels like a kick to the junk when you get to the point of giving up. Well, when it comes to my 24V 2h, giving up translates to taking it somewhere to be diagnosed which then leads to being kicked square a second time...
