SECTION 10L. RESISTORS
RESISTOR TEST
A resistor is connected between the alternator ignition
connection and the alternator field lead. The resistor
can be tested as follows:
1. Shutdown the engine and remove the ignition key.
Allow the engine to cool completely.
2. Remove the resistor from the alternator wiring har-
ness.
3. Set the multimeter to the 200
Ω scale.
NOTE:
The resistor should test 75
Ω. If the multimeter
indicates
Ω slightly above or below 75 Ω the
resistor is probably good and should not be
replaced.
4. Connect one test lead in each resistor socket
(Figure 10L-1).
The multimeter should indicate 75
Ω. If the resis-
tor indicates more or less than
75
Ω, replace the resistor.
