Re: Parasitic Drain - Bulb Trick
UPDATE:
For those interested, the problem is finally resolved. I was the thread starter, asking about an intermittent parasitic drain that can't be found. I finally isolated it to the alternator; and today, after a day of trying, finally got the alt off. Brought it to a shop, and they diagnosed the problem as "grounded rotor". Regulator, diodes all checked out fine. They replaced the rotor with an identical (Nippon Denso) rotor, and now there is optimal current drain and no parasitic load. Total cost, including labor (if converted to US$): $24. Thanks to jim, TeGGer, Earle and all the others who replied. More power. |
