Driving with busted alternator

[P-Chan]

Hmmm wala ko ka gets if asa ang IC ana..

Mao ni cut-out sa sample sa alternator ai.

Kana tingaleng Rectifier iyang pasabot, pero dili mana IC.

Basin naa ray baligya ana .. but anyway basin nangita na gyud nag bag-o bro. hehe

Unsay symptoms sa busted alternator bro, dili ra gyud mo charge? Or naa pay lain symptoms like, hinay ug hunat or something.

I think part nah sa regulator,

so far okay ra ma ang dagan basta naa rai voltmeter (kana mo connect gamit sa cigarette lighter, naka palit ko sa lazada for P500) at least kung low batt nah kahibaw ko when to sak2x/charge the extra batt.. (which is secretly done in the office.. mwahahaha)

Haha.. tabla ang office.

I think ang Alternator bro igo rang mo mohatag ug power supply, naay rectifier.. murag ang eCU naman tingale ang mo on or off depende na if kinsa or unsa nga party ang mogamit ug power. But I can't be sure.

Ipa check daw kay basin ang carbon brush ray daut ana madala pa diay, barato ra imong ma bayran.

the worst problem to fix in a defective alternator is the IC. that's why i made an IC module and connected outside the alt. contains a big transistor and never had a problem concerning IC. It could be fitted to any alternator with some modifications.

Most of the time, carbon brush is worn....
How old is alternator, 5-7 years or more?

You should replace carbon brush every 160k km.

murag wa pa toh nag 2 years... faet

Sigurado ka na alternator guba? dili imo battery hinay na mo "recharge".

Ipa tanaw na ug sira.niko para e.test imo alternator with voltmeter.
How about your serpentine belt? Did you check if your belt not lose?

Also possible you have 'ground' somewhere that is discharging your battery....daghan posibelidad. Bring it to good, trusted, sira.niko

tnx, kristiano, for your translation. i couldn't join in the discussion. like i said, i simply made an outboard device in lieu of the voltage regulator.

I am sorry, I cant understnd visayan. Never, never start an engine with a busted alternator. The voltage may go as high as 18v and will literally kill all your electronics including headlights.

This is correct.

Generally, the carbon brushes are the ones which fail first in the alternator system. They are the candidates to be checked first.

by the way, what languages do you speak?

my aunt's pajero has a bad electrical...busted one brand new alternator (replacement/not genuine), two surplus ones, and twice rewinded...about to give up na unta...gi-trace ang wiring, naay na-paksit and nag-contact on the other wires that have been stripped as well...ang wires nga napaksit kay naa sa passenger front part nga maligsan inig abante kay manaug ang luyo...3-door pajero...

sir, basin di gyud alternator problema ana...try lang trace sa tanan...basin naay grounded/pawot wiring/etc. nga maoy cause mapundido ang alternator...na-Tri-J/Roadstar/etc. nalang, ako ray naka-bantay sa wiring nga pawot causing all the issues...
