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.
What does the code E4 on the precision extra mean?
your blood glucose may be too high for meter to read or bad test strip
Who are bouki and rabbi describe the personality of these characters?
Bouki is the one who is always persuaded to do bad things while Rabbi is a smart, persuasive and always gets out of trouble
Why is too much PlayStation bad for you?
Why is that excesses in most things are less beneficial than having variety and balance in your life. Are you actually able to describe events in your life that turned out worse or bad because you were playing the Playstation too much.
Will the magnetic pull disappear when alternator is bad?
The way to test an alternator is to take it out and take it to a parts store, most will test it for free. If you want to test your alternator yourself you will need a volt meter. Start the car and have someone rev the motor to 2000 rpms and put your volt meter across the battery terminals ( pos to pos, neg to neg ). You should read 13.5 to 14 volts. If the reading is higher the voltage regulator is bad. If the reading is lower your alternator is not charging the battery sufficiently.
What happens if a silicon diode measures high value of resistance with the meter leads in both positions?
If the meter is developing more than the necessary forward breakdown voltage of the diode, typically 0.7 volts, then the diode is bad. However, some meters do not generate enough voltage in resistance mode to bias the diode on, unless you flip a switch that enables diode test mode. Use another meter at the same time to measure the voltage across the diode and compare that with the diode's published forward breakdown voltage.
How do you know if a crank position sensor is bad?
You will have a no spark situation. Testing it with a volt meter is easy. Twist the crank shaft slowly by hand and watch volt meter. If there is voltage and no voltage the sensor is good. No readings sensor is bad
Could a bad neutral in the line between the transformer and the electrical meter effect the meter readings?
Yes there is that possibility but if there was any problem with the neutral you would see it manifest itself in the lights in the house. Problems with dimming and flickering. If you suspect a fault in the meter call the power authority and have them check it out. They shouldn't charge you for the service and because they bill you from the readings of the meter they will want to know one way or another.
What happens when a diode goes bad?
how can u tell if the rectifier is bad on a 2001 suzuki intruder 1500lc
Will bad diodes work?
A failed diode electrically resembles a switch. Whether it resembles an open switch or a closed one depends on the specific mode in which it failed. But a bad diode won't behave like a diode any more.
A diode is bad what is the resistance?
same in both directions
What causes the oil pressure to run high?
Could be partially plugged oil lines. Too heavy oil. Better too high than too low. Maybe your meter is giving bad readings.
How do you check bad transitor?
Put your meter on the diode range. C to B should be low one way and high the other. Similarly E to B should be low one way and high the other. C to E should be high both ways. If your meter comes with a Hfe cable connect it to the transistor and check the gain.
Is 250 on peak flow meter good or bad for an adult?
bad
How do you describe frosting?
I describe it bad not healthiest, but sweet.
How do you check a bridge rectifier with an ohm meter?
by noticing the polarity of theohmmeter a diode can be checked for continuity and blocking ability However it will not tell you how good or bad the device itself is BY keeping the multimeter in diode mode and keeping properly the positive and negative terminals of the multimeter. If the diode is good multimeter will show a reading of 0.5 else there will be a short.
What three words describe bad quailty?
Three adjectives to describe bad quality are: cheap, shoddy, or inferior.
