3rd alternator not charging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Recommended Posts

All

Bought a DC Power triple alt bracket and installed today, probably not the best day to do this.

Anyway, the top alternator, which is brand new, is charging just fine, the one underneath is not, this one was in my Tahoe already, in a dual alt setup.

Please help me troubleshoot. all cables are installed nice and snug, I triple checked

This is not a junk alt... My new one is working great. It's the one I've always had that's not charging. I used a voltmeter to test on and off on both my battery banks. One sits at 15v. The other sits at 12.9

Belt is tight. No slipping.

It used to be Kyle. I don't know who or if there even is a DC Power inc rep on the forum.

So you removed the charge lead from the alt, and with the engine running there's no voltage or what?

OK. that was pretty cool.

Brian (The owner of DC Power) just called me.

On Fucking Thanksgiving, great CS from DC Power

Anyway we narrowed it down to a faulty resistor. He's building one and shipping it to me tomorrow for Saturday delivery.

In the meantime I'll run all my batts off the one alt and run it that way.

Brian said the other alternator will not be damaged in any way
