My alternator seems to have diead.
The check engine, battery and enging temp lights are on constantly.
I have checked the voltage coming from the big wire from the back of the alternator and it puts out 12 vaolts and drops as the battery dies.
there is alot of acid corrosion around the terminals etc and ive cleaned all that up.
what is likely to be the problem?
I have been looking at putting a 1ggte alternator in since 5mge alternators cre so crap anyway.
only thing is, its not as easy as the mark3 alternator into an 84 ma61 due to different pulleys and different plug in the back.
is it still possible to do the conversion?
cheers
