Consumer Description

DELPHI ALTERNATOR FAILED. FIRST NOTICED DUE TO NOISE COMING FROM ALTERNATOR. WITH NO DASH WARNING LIGHTS ON, VOLTAGE MEASURED AS LOW AS ~8 VOLTS, AND ENGINE THEN STALLED COMPLETELY WHEN HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WERE SWITCHED ON. CONFIRMED WIRING GOOD, REMOVED DISCHARGED BATTERY, RECHARGED BATTERY, BATTERY CONDITION LOAD-TESTED GOOD, AND WARNING LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON ONLY AFTER RUNNING ENGINE AT IDLE AND THEN ~3000RPM FOR ~5 MINUTES. VOLTAGE MONITORING CONFIRMED ONLY BATTERY VOLTAGE HAD BEEN PRESENT LONG BEFORE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. ALTERNATOR SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED THIS SOON, BUT NOT HAVING AN IMMEDIATE WARNING INDICATION THAT CHARGING SYSTEM HAS FAILED IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. (LUCKILY THE CAR STALLED IN MY GARAGE, NOT MINUTES BEFORE IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.*AK
