clacey Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I was messing around with my 91 LS400. I forgot to unhook the - cable on the battery. I touched the alternator with the wrench and it sparked. I just cranked the car and the alternator is not working. Does this thing have a fuse or something or am I going to have to replace the whole thing. I not sure where the wrench touched it. I guess I wont forget to remove the neg cable next time. Any input?

jzz30 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 how do you know that the alternator is not working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSC4 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 alternator does have a fuse, because i remember the power cable for these engines goes directly to the fuse box and another wire goes to the back to the stock amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clacey Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 A fuse would be good. I know it isn't working because I decided to check the voltage at the battery (knowing I sparked it) and it read 9 volts just seconds before it started to die.

BlackSC4 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 so the car actaully started then slowly died out? cuz i woudl actaully think the battery would go before the alternator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
