Why does the charging light stay on dimly while vehicle is running? checked alt. says its ok did a amperage test test out ok Parts store testers will also test the diodes.
Question about Mitsubishi Eclipse
...good with a bad diode if it is only tested for the voltage it reaches but if you were to check the amperage output it would be down from it's output rating. The alternator can check good,but it may ...
...to look is the alternator. There are diodes in the alternator that occasionally short out to ground. Take off the hot wire on the alternator and retest amperage draw. No fuse in that circuit. ...
Question about Cars & Trucks
...Instead of trusting the Gauge, test the Alternator Output. You need to test the Diode/Voltage and Amperage. If this does not test out good, please contact
