Hi all,
I am trying to repair an alternator for 6cyl Camry'89. When tested by a shop it produced 11V as they told me. I disassembled it and checked the stator continuity, the continuity between the rotor slip rings, and the diodes. All these seem OK. I couldn't get the rotor out, so I haven't checked for shorts there and I don't know how to check the voltage regulator. The brushes seem a little short but I think they are OK. The only problem I could spot is that one of the rotor slip rings has an angled groove and the corresponding brush doesn't seem to be angled that way...
Does anyone have experience to tell me what most likely my problem is?
Thanks, /Mikhail
