Alternator failure?

F32Fleet · 06-27-2020, 03:23 PM

So I have the speed sensitive clicking sound at the alternator. It occurs the second I tip onto the throttle and then stops. Sounds like a card on a bicycle wheel.

NE1 experience similar symptoms?

I haven’t yet. Have you had a chance to check your battery voltage with and without the car running? Any other symptoms like slow cranking, dim lights etc?

Did you have a chance to examine any stored codes with a code scanner?
