    My car car starts then immediately stalls. Happened one day while driving and we coasted to a stop. I don’t think it’s an alternator issue but could be vacuum leaked instead since fuel pressure is fine. I have no battery light on either.

      Hi, and thanks for watching. To be honest that could be a ton of things.
      I seriously doubt it's the alternator. Best hook up and OBD tool and at least get some codes.

    anyone experience with a defect accu light in the dash? is it true that if that bulb is broken that the system doesn't really load the battery? i can't find much about this but it seems that this bulb is pretty important...

      Hi, thanks for watching, and sorry for the late reply!
      Yes, the alternator won't work in most cars if the bulb is burnt out or damaged.
      This is because the bulb is directly connected to the line that initially energizes the alternator enabling it to start producing electricity.
      A burnt-out bulb essentially means a disconnected line.

    Hi, I have a problem where when I put my car into park when I get home all the dash lights and stereo go off for a quick second and come back on again. I've only noticed it at night. The battery terminals are all clean. Could this be the alternator? The car starts pretty well and has no problem turning over. Thanks!

      Hi and thanks for watching!
      To be honest it could be lots of things. From what you've written, I would first check for a bad electric contact or perhaps a weaker short circuit somewhere in the electric installation.

      @@Blujonny11 Hi again, it's tolerable, a bit higher than the usual 14,5 volts but in normal boundaries.
      Still, check the voltage a bit more frequently, just in case.

      Hi and thanks for watching! It could be a couple of things: the brushes on the voltage regulator, the rectifier, commutator......
      Is the belt properly tightened?
