Hey,

My My84 ea81 has developed an alternator issue. dash is lit up like a xmas tree so I've put a multi meter on the battery to find the alt is dropping no charge back to the battery.

Thinking the alt has given out, I have put a wrecker one in as of this morning. Still no charge to the battery.

Is there some fix it people know of? I guess it has to be wiring now...

Can I test the alt by taking off the plug off the back and putting the multi on the steel tabs to see if it works?

This car is going to Weipa in less than a week. I am currently in brisbane near Nundah so can access wreckers etc easily. Once in Weipa it becomes a significant and maybe life threatening problem.

Any help will be appreciated.

Steve.

Check the fuse box, i think there is a 'Charge' fuse

Some MYs run a separate regulator

All fixed now, bought a reco exchange unit for $140.00 put it in and it works spot on.

Turns out the wrecker unit "oh she's sweet mate, real good piece, low kay's" had a crook regulator too. Back tommorrow for a refund.
