    If your volts meter in the car is showing 12 or less, the alternator is not likely working. It should show 13-14 Volts. It's always wise to check the fuse before buying a whole new alternator, though if that fuse goes other systems won't work as well. I've had some friends install a new alternator and it's sill bad being brand new!

I have a new battery and I bought a 2005 alternator but the wiring that this engine has is different than the alternators female port. I bought the alternator that fits that port and it works but it still drains does anyone know if I just need to change the wiring harness back to the original? I also have some electric fans and not sure if that could drain the battery and suck up lots of amps even though on parked the volts stay around 14

    Just came across your vid in search of Tahoe charging issues. Last year I had to replace both battery and alternator. After doing so, she ran and started up fine. But soon after, the battery light started to flash, and the info center read Battery not Charging. But it still kept starting, and everything was working. I attributed it to and undersized battered.... (Different cca below 700). I also noticed there was a line of some sort coming from firewall and attached to the hood, on driver side. Fast forward to yesterday, I begin having battery issues. Bought a brand new battery, because they wouldn't take old one for warranty because it wasn't dead yet, it still held some sort of charge,( though not enough to crank over motor). Had the auto parts guy check alternator as well, his machine said was good. Bit still the dash reads: Battery not Charging, and the light goes on n off.... Would recommend I perform this inspection of this fuse? Also, the wire attached to hood/firewall, could that be a ground wire? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for video, and time.

I even took it to a mechanic who ran the same tests and all was good but there was corrosion on the terminals so he cleaned only one side and didn’t take the other one off since there was no visible corrosion. My car started great after that but days later it hesitated again and honestly don’t know what to do when everything is working fine

Could having that smaller fuse cause the alternator to not charge the battery properly? I popped a new battery in and within a day or two it was dead.

  • @straightpipediesel
    @straightpipediesel 3 роки тому +28

    Quick tip: in recent GM products, the alternator output may drop as low as 11.5 volts in normal operation. It's a fuel saving feature, the ECU commands the alternator output below the open circuit voltage of the battery in order to stop it from continuing to charge when full. Normally the ECU will detect a faulty alternator and give you a DIC warning, but if you want to check, turn on the headlights. That will cancel the economy mode and kick you back up to the 13s. Ford, Chrysler and some Japanese makes have similar systems, it's because of MPG requirements.

      That’s incorrect. If the voltage drops below 11.7 volts GM vehicles go into “battery saver mode” which cuts power to non essentials-air conditioning, charging ports, if it continues to drop then power is cut from stabilitracks, traction control, and eventually power steering. GM vehicles require 12 volts to run properly.

    • @straightpipediesel
      @straightpipediesel 3 роки тому +6

      @@wesleypinson1553 Nope, wrong. Straight from the owner's manual on a 2017 Acadia: "The normal battery voltage range is 11.5 to 15.5 volts" From the service documentation, voltage-based idle boost 1 will not occur until battery voltage drops below 11 V as long as the battery temperature is above 5 F. If the BMS does not have a working current sensor, the system will let voltage go down as low as 10 V before idle boost 3.

    • @wesleypinson1553

      The manual you are referring applies to a 4 or 6 cylinder engine. We are talking about 5.3 and a 6.2 V8s. Try looking at the correct manual next time. Battery Saver Mode activates under 11.7 volts. A 5.3 or 6.2 will NOT run properly at 11.5 volts.

      Its been a while but I think it’s under the cover of the main fuse box in the hood. Take that metal corner brace off (held by 4 bolts) and the entire black case lifts off the fuse box (I think there was 2 or 3 small clips holding it down). Again it’s been a while but I think that’s where it’s hidden on these. But once the cover is off follow the main battery cable to the fuse box and it should take you to it. I think it’s at the top left corner of the box (if your standing at the fender looking at it).

Long story short I replaced the starter, did work. I then replaced my still under warranty battery still didn't work. I thought it may be starter relay but didn't work. I then checked my battery with multimeter while it was running to make sure the alternator was charging. I only got 12.6 volts max. So decided to replace the alternator but it is still not charging my battery and truck won't crank without my jump box. Please help!!!

      If the fuse is good, I would also look into grounds. There should be a ground that goes from the engine to the frame and another for the battery to the frame. They can be just as important as the power cable. In the video, It ended up being a bad new alternator, so it happens
