[diesel_mercedes] Re: Alternator out and tested good...now what?

 

Well I finally broke down and went to my mechanic.  However again while there the voltage was good...however when turning on the lights and fan no dice.  So I asked for a few other things while there. But specifically asked him to clean and tighten the connection to the starter.  That did it.  As usual at idle not so good but with a few revs ...maybe 2000  It was over 13vdc with the lights and fan.  So it was a connection that had loosened.  On my W123 the only bare connection under the hood for the alternator is at the starter for both  alternator and battery.  I also had him get the boot back on that connection so hopefully this won't be a problem again.  Thanks for suggesting the junction box check.  On my car the starter connection is the closest thing to a junction box.  Lawrence Rhodes
