Mechman Alternators

1998 Ford Explorer Mechman Alternator Problem


Recommended Posts

Hey guys I've been lagging on my build and I went to start the car a week ago and the alternator is charging at 12.2V.

I have a Mechman 220 with adjustable voltage blue screw thing. I tested the amperage and it is putting out 40-60 amps when AC is on and 20 when idle. Just confused as to why the voltage doesnt work now?

Any help is greatly appreciated :D

Thank you

Here's the shot when I installed it:

Here's the alt

Just a cheap car to destroy with bass :D

Could it be the adjustable voltage boost module? Try to adjust it again. If it still is giving you a problem i would contact mechman.
