    7.3 IDI no shut-off via key.

    So, this is what I found. But I am no car electrician.

    7.3 IDI no shut-off via key.

    This is actually a bigger problem now - as I want to sell the truck. And I don´t want to sell it with the switch attached (between the shut-off solenoid and the the GP Relay). So the following is the problem: The GP relay is supposed to have no power after key shutoff on the ignition line (the...

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Hi Rondo, it was an ambulance but not in a traditional US car style. I dont know what the Norway people ordered exactly but I think nothing is left from that. Partly removed before I owned it, the rest by me.

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Correct. 2009 I had the idea to make a looong trip and to make a blog about that. (Blog is the old thing the internet kids call now Vlog.) So something like: I got to go ... see you next year.

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    So, I guess the missing copper plate on both sides, plus and minus, are critical. I later put on the plate on the neg pole/to neg. on the regulator side .... and it works now! And it works now like it is supposed to be: Stable 13,8 or so to 14.2V. No jumping no nothing. So looks like the...

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Hi @ all, must this copper plate be attached to the both of the negative terminals? On the "1." new one there was a copper plate to the both negative ones and the both positive ones. On the 2. new one there was only one on the positive ones. So I did NOT change this.

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Hi, I am not sure if I understand everything correctly (@least tonight :) ) But everything GP related is new, Computer, relay, GP etc. But that leads me into the Fuel-Shut-off thread that I have as well - offtopic here. But the FSO is connected to the GP Relay as it looks.

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Hi all, so as I do not like the voltage to jump so high I made the move and replaced this new alternator with the 2. new alternator. And like I said: I need to know the electronic part of it! The brand new alternator is not charging. So how plausible is that? 2 brand new alternator not or...

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    no, of course not. I own only electronic ones. All are working great - there is not a false reading Probably a regulator problem. On a brand new alternator??? How plausible is that? All new and yes of course it was an ambulance. But it worked 29 years so far.

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Hi @ all, just out of curiosity - before I wanted to replace the 5tkm Alternator - I started the engine again. And what happend? Correct: It charged, again. I drove the truck 2-times 20 miles. Charged. BUT: It still charges partly way to high! The highest jump I have seen was 15,8V. Just for...

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Hi, 300$ is the 165A Alternator from Rockauto inkl. tax + shipment. I tried to replace the regulator on the defect one but had no luck. Plus I don´t know how to fit the cole (???) things with the coils attached. They jump all over the place when I want to fit the regulator in its place.

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    It will take me probably 2h to change that is not the problem. Also I can see immediately if the alt is broke or something else is wrong (probably not) But can anything CAUSE IT TO BREAK? afaik not. But if anything causes my alternators to break this is a 300$ repair each time!

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    doesnt help course. For a different one I need a different alt stand/ conncetor. I cannot get that here in GER! btw: I get rid of the complete Van in 2 months when the truck has an historic licence = 30 years. Needs to run of course.

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    The fact that the charge went up-down-up-down in 1 sec, so like with 3Hz. From 13,5 to 15,2 looks like a false regulator for me. OR like a false ground. I would cut my arm of if it is a loose ground cable though. Note that happened while running. But the alt should not be loading above 14,4V...

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Hi, the digital one is accurate, I checked that. In winter, when the truck has not been running since weeks I had hard times with my bat. That was why. Since 2018 I have PV on my Van, charging the starting bat. Since that the problem is gone for 9 months/a, only when the sun is pretty low. So...

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    I think you mean the air conditioning one. That is unused, here in GER.

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    Hi, yellow wire? Which one? I know a yellow one at the GP relay. This below is an older Photo. Afaik there are just a negative wire (not seen here, connected to my engine), the big red one, the little red one witch got a new connector 2 years ago in this foto and the 90° connector which I...

    Can an alternator electrically be destroyed by the engine?

    I own a really special problem! My alternator is 10 years old and only 10t miles but dead. I could not believe tried some things but then decided to replace it with a new one. Also a refurbushed Leece Neville 165A 7701 afaik. The new one worked. 500 km or 3 trips. Than it started to jump on...

    7.3 IDI no shut-off via key.

    As an, hopefully final, result: The truck starts and shuts off like it was supposed to be. Because .... I dont know. I actually did nothing to the truck but driving it. The starting issue was not part of this thread and repaired by connecting the original cables back together, simple stuff...

    7.3 IDI no shut-off via key.

    Hi, I dont know where you want to go with this. Like I said: Power needs to shut down, wich it does not. This is NOT equal to a non-working IP Selonoid! The IP Fuel shut-off selenoid DOES WORK. Otherwise the truck would be running since weeks. See below my switch, the red wire going to s...

    7.3 IDI no shut-off via key.

    Hi, I made a short and the next thing was: It does not shut-off. Why should the rod be braking is exactly that moment? The "rod is broken" theory was mentioned when I had the "not starting via key" issue, back in 2017. I checked, the rod wasn´t broken. Dito the ignition switch connector at the...

    7.3 IDI no shut-off via key.

    Hi James, ok, mine is the "new" version? :-) in 3 months my car is 30 years old: Means ins GER 300¢ less tax/a, and roughly 500¢ insurance and it it allowed to be driven in urban Areas. Wich is NOT the case today due to emissions. btt: I checked the switch hardware wise years ago, like the...

    7.3 IDI no shut-off via key.

    Yes it does! (this is where I place my temporarly fix/switch from the inside) So the problem is somewhere between key and the shut-off selenoid at the pump. The selenoid itself works. The starter relay (behind the headlight) is probably gone since 8 years, so it has probably (?) nothing to do...

    7.3 IDI no shut-off via key.

    Hi folks, I recently replaced my already 12.000km alternator o_O with a new one a had a split second short with the battery cable. Alternator works now... Fuel shut-off via key does not. So engine keeps on running. 7 or 8 years before I had the same problem after (!) it came from a shop. But...
