THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Greetings Gents

My Altenator light has come on abruptly and will not go out. The belt is in good condition and the fan is turning so that is ok. If i rev the engine hard it does dim very very slightly but this is hardly noticable. Does this mean my altenator is stuffed? Is there any other tests I can do to check it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sam

check the molex connector and I mean take a good look at the wires on both sides. Also a good time to check the connection at the back of the alternator and the regulator connector, especially if you have been playing in the water/mud.

Thanks 4X4 Pinz I had a burned out wire on the connector and the voltage regulator was shot. All good now and thanks for the advice.
