alternater tests type 1 1500
G'day All, little red 'G' light has come on and sure enough the engine stops if I remove a battery terminal.
The battery shows the same 12v running or not and all wires seem to be in place.
are there any tests i can do to determine if its a alt or a regulator issue as id hate to buy a brand new second hand alternator and find it to be the
voltage reg or vice-versa

if you can get the battery charged and you have mulitmeter hook it up, and get a buddy to turn over the motor while you watch the meter if it drops a
lot battery stuffed and when the engine is running use the meter to see what volts are being made should be 13.5 to 14
good luck
