Awesome training video!!! I've been a auto tech for 30 years. You taught me things I didn't know for years until I watched this (Clocking an alternator could have saved me a lot of waiting for right parts time). Nice!!!! TY!!!
dan you the man my starting motor dead and thanks to you and another video i took it out cleaned it and put it back to gether jobs oxo back on the road
Hey man awesome video. I've tried the AC current test on the alternator with two different cars that work perfectly but I see 30 volts AC. I'm not getting that low reading you showed us
Had a 1982 Ford Falcon XD. At time it was unknown but it had a cracked circuit board and the connection between battery light on dash and alternator rarely gapped and give a accurate reading. So sometimes the car would start and alternator would put out 10 volts with lights very dim (dash had a volt meter). Other times it would start and give me 18 volts though I admit low beam was so much freaking brighter than high beam on 14 volts. Took it to sparky and he correctly guesed before he examined it that it was the circuit board behind the instument cluster (or inside) the cluster as the old boards would crack after so many years. The board was brown in colour with I think silver lines ? This was diagnosed in 2008 or thereabouts. If battery was flat, could remove leads, pull out battery and put in donor battery, start my car and then take it out and put original back in while it was still running. My current car (a 2004 model) will hold overnight at 12.2 volts, and run at 14.4 volts. The headlights low beam will take 0.2v (14.2) off reading, brake lights will take 0.1v (14.3) off reading and air conditioner will take 0.2v / 0.3v volts (14.2 / 14.1) off reading when being used while car running at highway speed.
You can put the roter on a laithe stone the comutater to 0 +or- .003use rubber like bricks fence laith three grades corse med fine tighten set screws so it will when stoneing the comutater it will cut the copper not just follow the same out off round ness it had before you started with . put dial indacator check for out of round 0 can be done easy seal with seal stick it looks like chalk square
If someone can give some information I just put a new alternator but it's not putting out the proper amps reading on my multimeter it reads 1197 to 1225 it gas hard time starting also positive post gets hot n gauges go crazy battery warning comes on gauge reads between in the middle ab loo e to start it once then ha6to wait like three hours or till next day help please anyone October 2019 thanks
you leave YT alone and you end up here , interestingly you never end up on some lonesome channel , its always some organised channel like this . Do they pay YT for views or what ?
Dan the Man!!! As always, you bring it to the head my brother! Simple and to the point! Thanks again big Dan! God bless you and yours my friend
Dan is a hell of a teacher he really has a way of making the things he is teaching easy to digest... I enjoy these eps
the recording part before removing the alternator is awesome

Really enjoyed that thank you
Liked the tensioner tool.
36:20 you didn't disconnect the positive connector, is it still safe because there is current passing through the redwire, no?
2004 mercury sable gs plm fix control module and control cruise ????
Sir Dan, I don't understand, Why the output voltage of alternator is maintain 14 volts even the RPM is increasing? How doe's it works?
Can I fix piece attached to the motor block, that holds bolt on starter,.it broke?
super informative.
Nice job
How can the BEAR machine tell how many amps the car is using?
Con grate 100th percent.grate job.
what can kill the alternator premature? I changed the alternator in my caravan 2000, did not drive it for a year ,and when I did alternator was done.
Why did you not discuss and overrunning pulley?
eccelent video
how can a international student can take admission in community college course.
Great info! Need better lighting and close ups on items. Use something to point with.
Sir my question is how to check regulator show the details
Thank you, great video, but where can I get the parts to rebuild my alternator such as brushes, regulator and diods
Hi, Dan Great for two videos on starter and alternator systems. These have shown me a lot and hoping to follow more about car corner trainings.
eBay
How do you full field an alternator?
good and great
Given that the BEAR machine is just another load in parallel.
Best
You can put the roter on a laithe stone the comutater to 0 +or- .003use rubber like bricks fence laith three grades corse med fine tighten set screws so it will when stoneing the comutater it will cut the copper not just follow the same out off round ness it had before you started with . put dial indacator check for out of round 0 can be done easy seal with seal stick it looks like chalk square
what is the symptoms of bad alternator brushes
On a lot of modern vehicles is no alternator light on turning on ignition.
If someone can give some information I just put a new alternator but it's not putting out the proper amps reading on my multimeter it reads 1197 to 1225 it gas hard time starting also positive post gets hot n gauges go crazy battery warning comes on gauge reads between in the middle ab loo e to start it once then ha6to wait like three hours or till next day help please anyone October 2019 thanks
You could have bought a bad alternator it happens all the time. Have it checked and they will give you a new one
