so yesterday on my way home from work, my battery light went on.
just a little while longer my headlights went off as I felt my car losing power. eventually my car died and had it towed to my house. this morning I decided to look into it and noticed a burning smell from the alternator. so I disconnected it and found this :   I took the alternator to test and its fine. I bought a new battery and still no juice. seems like I might have a short somewhere but I don't know where to start .. any ideas ? thanks . -------------------- 94' Celica GT Manual |

QUOTE (Box @ Jan 11, 2015 - 4:51 PM)  When they tested the alternator did they only test that it output power or what it output as well? If there was a burning smell it could've been the internal voltage regulator. you were absolutely right ! I took the alternator to another location for testing and that was the problem. so went back for a new one and car is up and running great ! -------------------- 94' Celica GT Manual |
