Alternator brush holder burnt between brushes. Posted by DickT [Email] (#1628) [Profile/Gallery] (more from DickT) on Wed, 19 Feb 2003 16:35:59 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Alternator stopped charging. I just pulled the VR brush pack (new last summer) and discovered that part of the section between the brushes was burned away. I have recently had two episodes in very cold weather where I suspect oil came out of the filler tube and spilled on the alternator. Could conductive gunk between brushes cause the failure? I gave my old, not quite worn out, VR to a friend in need two months ago and wondered if I cleaned up this one if that might fix it. Still concerned about the oil, but I also have been hitting some pretty bad frost heaves lately.
