Is my alternator on its way out
Hi all
Started up the GU patrol (2007 CRD) yesterday and the dash lights wouldn't go out (the typical lights you see when alternator is kaput). Used a battery tester which confirmed alternator wasn't producing output. A few hours later I had to move the patrol on to the road, everything back to normal. Retested and all ok. Move the patrol back onto the drive, dash lights back on, alternator kaput. I checked for loose connections/ broken wires but couldn't see anything. I started the patrol this morning, everything ok.
Alternator is only a few years old (a cheapy one), so I am wondering if it is on its way out or something else I should investigate
thanks in advance
