Re: Alternator wire repairs

I haven’t updated it yet as I want to get more pictures, there is an older post(thread is forum speak) of mine here where I talk about the instruments going out issue, I didn’t think this was related so I made this post, it turns out it is related, so I will update the original post.

Re: Alternator wire repairs

Well, whatever those two wires are, one of them fixed my instruments. Drove for a good half hour today and the gauges all worked. I will update the other thread with the info so anyone looking for help in the future finds it. Finally fixed the issue that has been plaguing me for well over a year.

Re: Alternator wire repairs

After researching those top terminals on the alternator, the one that was smashed and possibly shorted on mine was the battery sense wire, it senses for voltage drop over the positive cable and adjusts the alternator output to compensate. If it was indeed shorting, it was a major drain to ground fro...

Re: Alternator wire repairs

Tested starting up the engine and it started and alternator is working fine. Using the silverleaf I watched as the batteries went from 13 volts to 13.6 volts. No other charger connected. Wont be able to know if the instrument guages fuse will blow until after I drive it in a couple days.

Alternator wire repairs

Always do checks on your engine components, you may find something like this: I was looking for the intake air heater wires for my instruments going out issue (see other thread) and I found one of the small top wires on the alternator was rubbing on a hose and completely exposed.

Re: Broken electrical component in dash

I replaced the broken diode. I haven’t found anything different though. The instrument Fuse still blows after driving for about 10 minutes and I lose all instruments. The warning buzzer does work correctly, so it may have fixed that. I noticed the intake air heater light turned on a few seconds befo...

Leak next to water pump

I tried to tighten it, but it still leaks, what is this part? It only happens when the water pump is on and once a faucet is turned off.

Short video of it leaking after I turn the water off:

Re: Broken electrical component in dash

I finally found the other half of the diode. It was on another white wire on the far drivers side of dash. The diode seems to be a 6A05 type. That is a 6amp 50v Type. I will go ahead and order a new one and replace it. 4CC6CB65-48AE-482C-9B08-D4C6D9F6C833.jpeg C73C18E0-24AA-4D8B-913E-2C73A2C72CA6.jp...

Stove replacement or parts

Does anyone know where I could get a replacement for this stove? It’s missing parts and i don’t think it’s even getting propane, although the propane works fine for everything else in my 96 serengeti.

Re: Broken electrical component in dash

I still haven’t been able to find the other half of that diode and have searched all under the dash, but I have determined, by tracing the wires, this is in the brake buzzer circuit. The buzzer that rings when you press the brakes hard is not working anymore for me, and hasn’t for some time. I’m sti...
