Hi ya'll,
Does anyone around here know anything about the failure mode of ND internal regulated 60 amp alternators? I can ask on AeroElectric, but thought I'd poke around here first.
My alternator has started putting out a mere 13.6V. If I recall correctly the normal output of an automotive alternator is supposed to be 14.8V ish? This voltage is high enough that the battery is not draining, but not high enough to charge an Odessey PC680.
I'm not used to this 'low voltage' failure mode - kinda surprising.
I've checked that the belt is tight, contacts good - anything else I should check before taking the alternator off and trading it in on it's lifetime warantee?
