Alternator Not Working Hit With Hammer Working Again

bwr9300

I took my rig out in some off road trails today. Collection through a lot of water. Later the last h2o, the battery low-cal came on. LC collection fine for balance of day, highway, around boondocks, merely the battery lite stayed on. This evening on style home I began losing power. Got habitation, turned it off, and information technology wouldn't turn on--no power. Charged the battery and it started up fine.... while on the bombardment gauge slowly drops. Can water mess up the alternator?
Is at that place a run a risk whatever water there is, where it shouldn't exist,
will dry out upwards and this problem go away?
I've got 196k miles on it and dont take any records from PO, when
do alternaters usually get?
Practise the battery lights come on for bad alternators or just bad
batteries?

Whatsoever help is greatly appreciated

Alternators are pretty tough and can tolerate getting wet, but it is possible that water might screw them upwardly by either wearing out the brushes prematurely or by getting dirt or grit in between the brush and ring. Effort hosing information technology out with fresh water and tap on the example with a hammer to see if y'all can become the brushes to seat. The brushes are the major moving part that wears essentially.

so when you say hose it out, I should pull the alternater off and hose it out? or get out information technology in there and hose from there?

Pin_Head

Do the piece of cake things first. Merely hose it out while it is running in place. It is already broke, and then information technology isn't going to get more broken.

If you get to the trouble of removing information technology, supercede information technology with a good one.

Yous have mud in there.

If it were my alternator;
I would remove it. Open it upwardly, and clean out the mud and bank check the article of clothing on the brushes.
Mud is like sand newspaper on the copper skid rings, and in one case the slip rings get it would not be cost constructive to rebuild.

promise that helps...

or the connectors are soaked in water. remove the connector and blow information technology with compressed air to dry it off

If you have the original alternator, I would order a set up of brushes from your local dealer. The brushes are almost gone. With a scrap of dirt in the water, the springs are not maintaining good contact with the commutator. It is a fun time removeing the alternator from the 1FZ engine bay. So I would only do it one time. But information technology is your fourth dimension and energy.
Dirt is probable holding the bushes from making contact.
With the alternator out, brushes accept about ten-15 min to alter out and clean upward the commutator.

And so, should I let it sit for a couple days and hope it dries out or is that a slim to none risk? Regarding hosing it, if others accept lost alternators practice to h2o, is spraying water in/towards the alternator going to cause more damage? There'south mud on pinnacle of the alternator...

Powderpig, if you say its not fun removing the alternator with your experience working on these rigs, I wonder if I'll even be able to practise it.

I hosed information technology out. Seems to have drained it more than. Car won't start. Have to charge it a bunch. Any tips would exist cracking!

Hit information technology with a hammer. Mine was clogged with mud and a few good whacks got it spinning/charging again.

Powderpig, if you say its not fun removing the alternator with your feel working on these rigs, I wonder if I'll fifty-fifty be able to do it.

Information technology isn't fun removing them simply information technology isn't THAT difficult. Only time consuming. The FSM tells you exactly what to do.

seriously hit it with a hammer? I guess you have to remove information technology to exercise that huh? sounds like its time for me to go in and remove the alternator. sprayed it, while still in place, earlier. permit it sit with the hood open all 24-hour interval, even took the lady's hair dryer and permit information technology sit down blowing on it for awhile.

seriously striking it with a hammer? I guess you have to remove information technology to do that huh? sounds similar its time for me to go in and remove the alternator. sprayed it, while withal in identify, before. let it sit with the hood open up all solar day, fifty-fifty took the lady's hair dryer and let it sit blowing on it for awhile.

At this indicate, yous need to pull it out and see what is damaged.

If this is the original unit, a castor replacement similar Pin_Head and Robbie stated is definitely a expert thought....or, a new reman unit would non exist a bad idea either if you have toasted it.

seriously striking it with a hammer? .

Seriously. You want to tap information technology enough so that the vibration seats the brushes. Yous don't desire to crack the casting, unless you are and so pi$$ed off at it that yous need revenge.

It is already broke. Hosing the clay out of it and borer on it isn't going to make it more broke.

It is proficient to have feel with these kind of quick and dingy fixes as they can brand the difference between getting home or not if information technology happens when you are out in the skinny boonies.

It is already broke. Hosing the dirt out of information technology and tapping on information technology isn't going to brand it more broke.

It is good to take experience with these kind of quick and dirty fixes every bit they can make the divergence betwixt getting home or non if it happens when you are out in the skinny boonies.

X2. Good advice here.

ok. cheers for all the aid. so, I've been reading the FSM. Everything in there is accurate... removing the ability steering resevoir, belts, battery and tray? if then, any tips from yall who've done this before?

bwr9300

all-time identify to striking this once I go it out?

Pin_Head

You want to become it running first and and then hose it out and tap on the end that holds the brushes while it is running. Come across if the batt low-cal goes out and the charging voltage jumps up to 14.7V.

No bespeak in doing this if you have it out. If you accept it out, just rebuild it: Clean and exam everything and put new brushes in it. It is not a difficult job to rebuild it compared to getting it out.

bwr9300

ok. glad you said something. I was about to go take the whole affair out. So tap it with a hammer while its still in the engine bay? I hosed information technology out earlier. Take not hit it with hammer though. So, Pinhead, you're proverb leave it in at that place and get the rig running?
