What wrong when battery lights blinks?
The diode in the alternator is probley going bad, Check charging system. And replace alternator.
What does an alternator diode rectifier do?
The alternator diode rectifier converts the AC current being produced by the alternator to DC from which most of the electronics installed and battery use.
The charge and brake light stay on all the time How can you fix this?
It is most likely a bad diode in the alternator that is causing both lights to stay on. Or its just your alternator going out, replace alternator, and check pads an rotors.
Can an alternator be directly wired to a battery?
Yes, as long as the diode in the alternator has not been removed. Alternator products AC, the diode switched it to DC which is used to charge batteries.

Can an alternator on a Renault Megane with a shorted diode still charge the battery?
It depends on which diode, but sometimes it can.
What causes alternator failure?
Bearings can fail or a diode can burn out. Age is the enemy of an alternator.
Is a diode part of an alternator or the car?
There is a three phase diode bridge in a vehicles alternator. The voltage is generated as three phase AC. The diode bridge converts the AC voltage to DC voltage. This is the DC voltage that is used to charge the battery of the vehicle and run the vehicles electrical systems and equipment.
What device changes ac to dc in an alternator?
diode
What can replace an diode?
Another diode with similar specifications.
Alternator diode location?
Inside the alternator, some are easily replaced and some are soldered in place.
What needs to be replaced when a diode ripple is not detected?
replace the diode
