Alternator Assembly

1.

Install bearing on rotor shaft. Seat bearing against shoul-
der (Figure 12-38).

2.

Assemble springs and brushes in brush holder and retain
with fabricated pin. Pin holds brushes compressed in brush
holder and will be removed after assembly.

3.

Install rectifier bridge in slip ring end frame and install
screw, output stud insulator, and nut.

4.

Assemble and install brush holder and regulator. Solder
connection between brush holder and regulator if either
part was replaced.

5.

Slide regulator connector strap into regulator contact and
solder together.

6.

Slip capacitor strap under connector strap and position on
rectifier bridge and regulator. Secure capacitor strap with
screw and two insulated screws (Figure 12-51).

Figure 12-51: Rectifier Bridge and Capacitor Strap

Location

7.

Attach stator leads to rectifier bridge and secure leads with
nuts.

8.

Install thick collar on rotor shaft (Figure 12-38).

9.

Insert rotor shaft through drive end frame and seat bearing
against thick collar.

10. Install thin collar, fan, and pulley on rotor shaft and secure

with washer and nut. Tighten nut to 40-80 lb-ft (54-109
N•m).

11. Carefully insert rotor through stator and seat ball bearing

in slip ring end frame. Be sure drive end frame and stator
are aligned and seated.

12. Install through-bolts. Tighten through-bolts evenly to

remove any slack.

13. Verify that rotor turns smoothly.

14. Remove brush retaining pin from brush holder. Be sure

brushes extend out brush holder and contact slip rings.

Alternator Inoperative (No Charge)

Step

Action

Value(s)

Yes

No

1

Perform visual inspection on belt, pulleys and
battery cables. Is everything in normal operating
condition

Go to step 2.

Repair and
recheck system.

2

Using a battery load tester, place amp pickup on
the alternator fusable link wire. Start and run
vehicle at 1500 rpm, load the vehicle batteries
with 100 amps for 15 seconds. Does charging sys-
tem produce equivalent amperage.

>100 amps

Go to step 7.

go to step 3.

3

Perform battery check, refer to “battery checking
procedure” in this section. Are batteries in good
condition

Go to step 4.

Replace batter-
ies and recheck
charging sys-
tem.

4

Using a DVOM set to measure voltage, place the
negative lead on a good engine ground. Probe the
Batt. terminal on the back of the alternator. Is
voltage present?

12v

Go to step 8.

Go to step 5.

5

Using a DVOM set to measure resistance, mea-
sure resistance between the alternator case and a
negative battery connection. Is resistance below
specification.

<.2

Ω

Go to step 6.

Locate and
repair bad
ground connec-
tion.

6

Disconnect the positive battery cables, using a
DVOM set to measure resistance, measure resis-
tance between the positive battery connection and
the Batt. terminal. Is resistance below specification.?

<.2

Ω

Go to step 8.

Inspect/repair
fusible link at
alternator Batt
terminal.

7

Does voltage gauge indicate a low charge condi-
tion?

Replace gauge
and check oper-
ation.

No problem
found at this
time.

8

Using a DVOM set to measure voltage, and the
pink ignition lead disconnected from the alterna-
tor, place the negative lead on a good engine
ground and the positive lead on the pink ignition
lead. Turn the ignition key to on, is voltage
present?

12v

Go to step 9.

Locate and
repair open or
short to ground
in engine igni-
tion feed circuit.

9

Check for expanded female terminal in engine
harness connector in the alternator ignition feed
connector. Is a faulty connection found?

Replace female
terminal

Replace the
alternator
