Are you certain that you do not have a dead cell in your battery?

It's me again with my alternator woes.


Can anybody conceive of a wiring fault that could cause this weird situation?
Is there a short in the armature that would cause a normal alternator
rebuilding shop to mis-diagnose a repair for a short time. It seemed that the
unit was working for a short time (30 seconds) albiet with the same twitchy
ammeter reading before it went full on. It may well have been a wiring fault
that killed it, but I'm damned if I can find the problem.

Back to the alternator shop in the morning for what will be an undoubted blame
session. I just want my car back on the road.

Cheers,

Mark
