finkster Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 so i started the car up after getting a haircut and noticed the car was running at 10 volts. the battery finally drained and i think its the alt. I have a mechman 150 amp alt. Car is a 93 dodge stealth base model. One more thing, i was reaching down at the alt (its on the bottom of my engine) and i pulled up the plug from the alt. Now im not sure whether i pulled it out or whether it was out in the first place. If the plug was out, would the alt quit charging altogether? I hope thats all it is. Thanks for the help fellas. I reall hope its not a dead alt for my car. My alt takes hours to change because of its location. Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living

zfrerichs Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 the plug tells the alt to kick on with out it pluggeg in its just an idler pully Quote Roseville, CA
WCA Rusty Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 ya charge the battery with a charger first, its really hard on the alt to make it charge a dead battery, you could burn it up Quote DC AUDIO Phone Number 1(855)SPL-DBZZ Built by Competitors, for Competitors.
finkster Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 cool thanks fellas. Its dark cold and rainy outside and the plug goes in at the bottom of the alt, on the bottom rear of the engine. In other words it hard to do it at night. I'll lug it back in in the morning. I really hoped it fell out instead of me just pulling it out..... good night guys. Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living
finkster Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Posted October 19, 2009 just wanted to update right quick well after working 5 hours non stop on it on sunday, I finally got that plug in. Its IMPOSSIBLE to plug in whithout undoing the whole bracket then sliding the alt up. Ill put money on it that my car is the biggest pain in the bitch to work on alternator wise.... but yea the problem is fixed...too bad it ruined my weekend of drinking w sexy bishes Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living

Ill put money on it that my car is the biggest pain in the bitch to work on alternator wise.... but yea the problem is fixed...too bad it ruined my weekend of drinking w sexy bishes ill take that bet. to get my alt out i have to unbolt the engine mounts, take out the windshield wiper arms (cause there isnt enough clearance), then put a strap around the engine so that i can pull it forward. only then will there be enough room to get the alt out. its on the back side of the engine, under the windshield so even after doing all this you will never be able to see the bolts. you just have to feel your way around while laying on the engine. do i win?
