we have a 460 Ford in our jet drive boat. recently we have replaced the fotor and the alternator is not charging we are not sure if it is connected properly. It is currently connected with two wires. What Do you recommend?
The generator motor works as the starter motor AND the alternator.
yes they are the same motor but will have different components because one was designed for a boat and the other for a car
its mounted to the alternator which has to be removed to get to it
on raiht between the motor and the fire wall
Had a problem with the alternator on my Connect. Found it was due to a broken/corroded wire in the small jumper loom that clips to to base of the radiator. This small loom is about 30cm long with a plug at each end. About £12 from Ford dealers.
That is a statement, - what is the question .
So easy yet so hard starting from scratch.
have you tried to change the alternator ? just a suggestion
Connect the blower motor directly to 12 volts DC. If it runs it is good.
Do all the regular things to unhook the alternator then take the passenger side motor mount out, jack up the engine a little and unbolt the A/C compressor and squeeze that baby out!
