BELOW IS A VARIETY OF COMMON FAULTS THAT COMMONLY AFFECT ALTERNATORS & STARTER MOTORS. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO TEST AND OR CHECK FOR THESE BEFORE REFITTING OF ANY UNIT.
01
ALTERNATOR FAULTS
ALTERNATOR OR CHARGING PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY MANY FACTORS. SOME OF THE MAIN ONES ARE DEFECTIVE BATTERIES - DIESEL OR POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKS - CORRODED TERMINALS OR CONNECTIONS - LOOSE OR WORN DRIVE BELTS. A GOOD VOLTAGE READING IS NORMALLY BETWEEN 13.4 - 15.1 VOLTS DEPENDING ON VEHICLE TYPE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHARGE AND LOAD TEST THE VEHICLES BATTERY BEFORE THE REFITTING OF ANOTHER ALTERNATOR.
02
STARTER MOTOR FAULTS
STARTER MOTOR FAULTS ARE ONCE AGAIN CAUSED BY MANY FACTORS BUT SOME OF THE MAIN ONES TO TEST & CHECK FOR ARE THE FOLLOWING : STICKING OR WORN IGNITION SWITCH - DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL DUST - OIL LEAKS AND/OR CONTAMINANTS - POOR EARTH/CONNECTIONS - FAULTY BATTERY.
03
BATTERY FAULTS
BATTERIES CAN BE QUICKLY TESTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DROP/LOAD TEST AND A HYDROMETER IF THE BATTERY ISN'T SEALED. A BATTERY MUST BE FULLY CHARGED FOR A TEST TO BE CARRIED OUT. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LET A BATTERY SETTLE DOWN AFTER FULLY CHARGING IT AS THE GAS PRODUCED WHEN BEING CHARGED CAN BE HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE. A DRAIN TEST WITH AN AMMETER IS A USEFUL TEST TO ANALYSE ANY VOLTAGE DRAWS ON THE VEHICLE ALSO.
