Has my alternator died?
« on: 18 November 2010, 14:52:11 »
At 2k revs I meter about 13.25.

With headlights on about 13.02.

Headlights, Heater, indicators, fog lights etc still about 13.02

Without engine running about 12.75

Is my alternator kicking out enough?

Sounds a bit low to me. Is the battery fully charged?

If so, first suspect would be a loose crimp on one of the terminals.
