Last year I did the permanant magnet alternator swap. On Friday, my charging system failed.
I found a thread on how to test a regulator/rectifier, and it tested ok.
Do you test the stator wires using a volt/ohm meter....each of the three wires unplugged from harness, individually to ground with desired results being verrry little resistance? 2nd test each leg (disconnected from rec/reg) spinning engine with test meter on a/c to test for voltage being produced? (plus side of meter to each stator wire and black to ground)
It is my understanding that if the reg/rectifier tests ok and so does the stator, then a ground or connection somewhere is the most likely problem.
Any help here much appreciated!!!
Thanks!
