[diesel_mercedes] Charging

 



Dean ;

To test the dash light & circuit : unplug the alternator and turn the key one , ground the thin blue wire at the alternator plug ~ if the night comes on , all is well in the dash and harness , no need to take it apart .

I found another person on the web that had purchased the same 'unit'? at walmart.  I went to walmart.com and did not find it.   I did find this on deal extreem, and I think it would please those who want this type.  




I prefer this one, but it is a bit more $





My '83 300D also doesn't charge.  I replaced the brushes and nothing.  I was about to take out the alt to have it tested, but did get voltage 'once' so I know it is good.   I DO have the junction box and all connections are clean and tight.   I started tearing into the dash because I read on a google search that if the charge light doesn't work, that it won't activate the ALT.

During my dinking around, that is when I did get 14v but later i tried again and it was back to no charge.  The light is not visibly on to look at it normally, but cupping your hands around it and shoving your face on it, you can see it barely glowing.........


Anway that was a few months ago.  It sits and we have been driving the SDL.

[diesel_mercedes] Cheapo RED L.E.D. Charging Tester

 



You're welcome Bobby ;

As I said , there's nary a maker's mark anywhere on it...

I have zero recollection of where I bought it , all it does is light up red LED's with the vo9ltage , IMO it's a fairly useless / worthless thing but I use it occasionally as a quick check tool else I'd give it to you .

Maybe Pep Boys ? ORielly's or Autozone ? I'm pretty sure I bought it in a rush at some FLAPS .

If I can figure out hot to hold it and the iPod , I'll snap a pic of it working , you won't be impressed .
