Want this question answered?
There isn't a vacuum line going to the regulator on a 1998 Dodge Caravan.
Fuses are in either the under hood or trunk fuse boxes.
under the battery or close by
no there is not a fuse built into any alternator that i have seen to date (been a mechanic for 10 yrs) HOWEVER most vehicles have a charging fuse located either in-line or at the fuse panel so that if the rectifier or voltage regulator goes out the battery does not receive too much voltage or the wrong type of voltage ac versus dc in short no the alternator doesn't but the vehicle should have one in the alternator circuit
the fuse is the yellow 20 A in the back fuse pannel the one that is out of line with all the other ones
The drive belt is not tensioned. The fuse in the line between the battery and alternator is blown. The battery has a bad cell. The voltage to the alternator field is missing from the regulator or ignition switch circuit.
Chrysler did not manufacture an Eagle Vision in 1991, that line ran from 1993 to 1997.
Probably in line with tail lights.
On fuel pump in the gas tank.
The whine probably comes from the alternator. You will need a supressor on the alternator output. Another way, is to use an in line filter in the power supply, to the CB, to stop interference on the power supply from reaching the radio. You need an auto shop to check the alternator. The in line filters can be got from radio Shack and look like an in line fuse.
No. The short summary is that there usually is a fuse or circuit breaker in the line coming out of the alternator that protects the alternator from a sudden surge in power from some outside source and which also protects the engine's electrical parts from a sudden surge that might somehow come from the alternator (very doubtful this would happen). But that fuse doesn't keep the alternator charging in the strict sense of the phrase. What stops an alternator from charging is internal parts failure such as the burn out of a rectifier, bearing failure or the belt which drives the alternator failing or coming loose and slipping excessively. Short of failures such as these an alternator will keep on charging as long as the belt is turning its pulley and causing the rotor inside the alternator to turn.
Under hood, passenger side, lower engine area, rear of alternator, mounted in fuel line.
