Just hold the plug wire and pull the starter, you'll know if it's good.

What is full-fielding?
Full fielding is a diagnostic test of the alternator You make the alternator work full out and measure the voltage and amperage output to test it against a published specification.
What makes an alternator high output?
If the alternator output is too high, there is something wrong with the regulator. Often, the regulator is part of the alternator. There could also be issues with wiring. It is necessary to test carefully, following the manufacturer's diagnostic procedure.
Fuse alternator 1995 mercury mystique?
I have a 2.0 1995 Mercury mystique the battery charge light was on no output on old alternator. Replaced alternator No output from new alternator "charge light out" (wiggle test wires& re-check wires) at alternator *still no output* is there a fuse that could be the problem or just another bad alternator... I would check the alternator plug before getting another alternator, it may be bad. And is a lot cheaper to replace.
How do you check if your alternator is still good?
I use a Digital Volt/ohm meter and test the output of the alternator at the battery or at the main output terminal of the alt. If I'm still in doubt i pull the alt and have it tested at Autozone for free.
How does an alternator know how much voltage output?
Output of the alternator is controlled by the voltage regulator.
How many amps does an alternator for a 2005 Buick Lesabra have?
Rated output 135 amp, load test output 94 amp - this is assuming stock alternator, replacement alternators vary as some rebuilders mix and match parts...
I have a 1988 Chevy Cavalier. I replaced the Alternator and Battery and also changed a linkable fuse between the alternator and battery. The test still reads no output to alternator. Any ideas?
?ignition control module/pickup
93 Ford Aerostar alternator light is on you had the alternator check and it comes out good what else should you check?
There are times when the alternator will test out fine as far as amp output and voltage output but if your alternator has a weak diode(s) it may trigger the light to go on. I hate to say you should replace the alternator, but your charging system is pretty much self contained in your alternator so I believe the problem is in fact in your alternator. Good luck.
Will a diesel engine run with battery cable disconnected if the alternator is bad?
A vehicle may not run if the battery cables are disconnected with or without a bad alternator. The best way to test an alternator is by voltage output when applying a load.
To Test the output of the alternator on a1998 Maxima can you disconnect the neg battery cable?
Start the car and while it is running, disconnect the positive cable from the battery. If the car stalls, the alternator is bad.
How do you test an alternator with external regulator?
Leave battery lead to alternator connected, disconnect other leads. Run car and check output at these two leads. Should be 14-16 Volts.
What is the voltage output for an alternator belonging to a Mercury Sable 93 suppose to be?
i would think it should put out from 12 to 15 volts.you will need to check output also with lights on an if it drops in voltage you probably have a bad alternator,most auto parts stores can test the system for you.
