Hello:
Recently, I posted a message in this newsgroup regarding an alternator voltage fluctuation problem on my 1989 Cadillac Eldorado.
I was asked to do some node voltage checks to see if I had a faulty ground somewhere. The grounds seemed to be OK, but the wire from the alternator output to the battery + terminal has a resistance of about
4 ohms. This seems high for such an otherwise low impedance wire, so could this be the source of the voltage fluctuation? Is this wire going through a relay or switch of some kind, or is it going directly to the battery? I can't see where it goes, due to the crowding of other components in the area.Can I just bypass this wire with a heavy guage wire of my own, directly from the alternator output to the battery?
Thanks!
Steven
