Until you swapped alternators, I was going to say a bad diode gives a weak or pulsing light. Now I'm thinking it's a wiring/grounding issue.

Re: [MBZ] 190d charging
Did you clean the slip rings on the armature? I've installed a new VR and had no charge from the alternator, then cleaned the rings with a bit of fine sandpaper, and had it working fine.

[MBZ] 190d charging
Was checking some stuff on the kids 190d and was driving it down the street all the sudden the charging light comes on dim. So I check the voltage and it's about 13.5. Whats the spec with the engine running? Pulled the regulator did not appear way worn down to me but swapped in another with slightly longer contacts. Same thing. Swapped in another alternator with the swapped in regulator(so same alt and reg off parts car) and same thing. Both alternators have bosch rebuilt stickers on them. Should I trial and error with other alternators or get a new one? Or do I have a false light coming on? Does not seem low enough to turn the light on Sent from my iPhone ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
