sweatysock Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi, gone through a couple of alternators before I learned my lesson that if you wade through mud and dont clean up, your in trouble!!!. Now, although being a more caring alternator type person mine has moved from a quiet alternator to a bit noisy (difficult but I would describe as a rubbing bearing noise). The battery dash light has stayed on until I depress accelerator for some time but all ok apart from that. So, question - do you think the new noise is the start of the alternator packing it in ? I have given it a lashing of wd40 and it has helped. Views pls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 the brushes might be jammed & unable to slide in their mounting, could be worth removing the alternator & clean/examine the brush pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
