had a dead battery...took it to autozone..they told me the battery was bad and replaced it for free, as the old one was still under warranty.
it is air-conditioned.
they suggested i test the alternator, so we did...it was kicking out only about
5 A instead of the expected 90 A.my bently manual tells me that the brushes and regulator can be replaced with alternator still in the car. i'm looking for some advice on whether or not this will solve the problem, if so, how much $$$US am i going to spend for the parts, and what is involved in replacing them. the manual isn't very clear.
or, should i replace the entire alternator?
any advice would be appreciated...if any additional info is required to answer my questions, please let me know.
thanks much andy
