More than likely your alternator is on its way out.
It means either the alternator or the voltage regulator is failing, assuming your electronic instrument cluster isn't going bad.
Trouble code P1682 means: Charging system voltage too low
Assuming you are asking about the voltage regulator, the voltage regulator regulates the voltage being put out by the alternator or generator so not to overcharge or undercharge the battery and maintain the correct voltage for the electrical system. In 1964, the Lincoln voltage regulator was externally mounted. In later years it became integral with the alternator.
It is important for solar battery charger output voltage to match voltage of battery system being charged. Voltage is additive in series circuits, therefore 3 12VDC solar battery chargers connected in series would provide correct output to charge a 36VDC system.
yes, it's the alternator. I have a 87 Lincoln town car as well and when the alternator is bad it will not hold a charge. In your message system it should be saying charge system, that what's it's telling you. Hope this helps
The coil generates the high voltage charge which is then distributed to the spark plugs by the rotor arm in the distributor cap.
The Charging system includes the alternator, either an internal or external voltage regulator, a charge indicator, the battery, a fusible link, and the wiring between all of the components.
Could be an incorrect refrigerant charge in a/c system
Q = CV Q = Charge C = Capacitance V = Voltage Q = 33uF*9V = 297uC
It is simply the voltage of the system before the fault occurs.. Most probably this is the voltage of healthy system...
A 2004 year model vehicle uses R134a refrigerant.
Some possible clues: * Alternator/Generator not putting out enough voltage to properly charge system * Voltage regulator problems * Weak battery, or one that's about to give out totally
