I have a question about my vehicle do you have a email I can message you at?
I have kind of dirty but perfectly working alternator, but it's kind of plug up with all kind of junk is there proper way to clean the alternator inside component's? and what it's proper way to do it
Very helful vidios
Sar. plese show me how to chek ulternet motor (capacitor) rely
Hi
I am an electrical engineer of some 40 years experience. Your presentation is excellent. Your English is very good. Your video skills are very good. I like the use of gloves , I like your camera skills. Top marks...
100% the best alternator video on the internet. This cat showed me how to test everything in the circuit. Testing the pins on the connectors was a massive help. I needed to know if the PCU was sending the signal to the alternator first of all. Taking the alternator apart is out of my wheel house. I just needed to pinpoint my defective part. This homie crushed it.
Hands down, one of the most informational and concise videos I’ve ever watched. The only way he could tell you more about an alternator is to show you how they wrap the copper up into a spool. Came here due to an overcharging alternator (first one OVERcharging in my 38 years of being a driveway mechanic) and was able to diagnose it thanks to this video. Thank you for such an awesome video!
Could not agree more. It goes to show how many YT "experts" only know enough
to be dangerous.....
@@lukula2934 Right?! They help you out, alright…. Help you right i to the back of an Ambulance (or Hearse). 😬😬😬
I agree!
It's people like that makes RUclips a great source of information. Thank you for your efforts.
You are Knowledge Hub. Great....
I am a technician,and this video very good with correct information. Not sure why anyone would give you a thumbs down.
My car stopped while driving. Thanks to two of your videos I diagnosed a bad connection between the positive terminal of the alternator and the battery ,gosh, I'm even speaking like a pro :) , I would like to give you a thumbs up for every euro you saved me. Thanks bro!
your patience, dedication and keenness to detail is much appreciated

Junky DIY guy Excellent video. One question. If in positive test between of alternator and battery the loose is up to 0.2 such as 0.7 is probably the problem with the thickness of wire?
It could be possible to have 0.7v of a difference between the two, if you replace the cable with a larger cable than the stock cable. But if you get 0.7 with the stock cable then chances are your cable is too old and has high resistance. To make sure it is the cable, connect the multimeter to the 2 ends of the cable itself. In my experience, As long as you get around 13.5v to the battery under full load, your battery wouldn't go flat. But your alternator has to work hard a little bit. I know some people live with it, But replace if you can coz 0.7v is a significant drop.
Junky DIY guy como puedo cambiar un slip ring en un alternador
Glad to see this vid. I have a question. If the alternator was charging on the cold start 13.8v and then after driving a couple of mile with accessories the voltage drops to 12.6 so definitely its not charging. Would that be a bad alternator? The truck is 15 years old.
This is the BEST video I have seen on the charging system. I never buy a new alternator or starter. I always rebuild them for a few bucks. I will not pay 300 or more for a new alternator or starter. Thank you for such an informative video.
This is the most detailed instruction for testing alternator I have ever seen.Thanks a lot.
The most detailed video on how to test, diagnose and repair an alternator. Thank you!
Now THIS; in my humble opinion, is what the internet was created for. To SHARE INFORMATION! (at one time called "the information superhighway") And this man did a damned good job of it!
I found myself pausing frequently to try to absorb all your excellent information. Wow. Thank you.
I've watched quite a few DIY videos on RUclips and this is by far one of the most detailed and clear.
Very educative
The is the best and most comprehensive video on alternator testings and diagnosis
This is the only alternator video I’ve found on YT that covered what I actually needed know. Well done and thank you.
I especially appreciated the testing of the cables and ground for voltage drops. These are often overlooked and and multiple, small, voltage drops can add up to trouble.
Definitely the best video on this! Not only explains what to test, but why - and exactly what each component should be doing.
Thank you
Sir, this was beyond GREAT! I followed the steps for checking a faulty alternator and found out that my friend's vehicle's alternator died due to running a 5+ year old battery
the effort you put into these videos is phenomenal
thanks buddy

This is a GREAT tutorial! Technically right on, and thorough demonstartions and explanations! You know your stuff, DIY Junky! Thank you so very much!
I like how you measure for voltage differences between the terminals and their endpoints - eliminating connection problems. It's a good method for any older vehicle.
I've got a wide range of interests that I look up tutorials for and there's a very good chance this is the best I've ever seen - thanks!
This must be the best tutorial i have seen. Easy to follow and well illustrated. Thanks so much!
I just wanted to thank you for being so specific when explaining how to test and what to expect to see. This is the best video online. Trust me when I say I have watched and or read almost everything available online and not one comes close to being a thorough as you. I have been trying to figure out why my new alternator and new battery in my 2002 c320 still is not charging I found myself in an under information sh&% show. Thanks to you I have all the information needed, so that I can go back out to my car and have a good chance in figuring out my issue. Thank you so very much for your help. Keep up the amazing work. its really appreciated. :)
thanks mina
Did you figure it out?
That was a clear explanation on what or how the the car alternator works. I appreciate this video so much!
I know I'm basically repeating what another reviewer said but it popped in my head before I read their comment so I'm about to say it now:
This is the most comprehensive review of an alternator I have ever seen
Keep'em coming
Your video is very professional and brilliant - I have a 1996 Volvo 940 fitted with a Denso alternator (100/14) - some time ago it started to make a whining noise. So far, I have replaced the bearings and drive belt - The Alternator is in outwardly good condition but the Whine persists. With the engine running, the whine is stopped when the large battery lead is disconnected from the alternator and resumes when the lead is reconnected. It has been suggested to me that the noise may be coming from the rectifier.
Superbly explained video. Clearly a very knowledgeable individual who knows his alternators and automotive electrics. Thank you for making, editing and uploading this reference quality tutorial. 😎👍
The most informative video I've ever seen on RUclips 👌🏼
Well done mate.
Please continue making videos like this.
I wish you all the best and good luck 🙏🏼
Excellent. Does not waste time on simple actions. Goes deeper than many such sites.
You are an awesome man. Explained everything. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sir!
this is such a well made video.. exactly what i was looking for.. thank you for making amazing content
You did a good job man I'm just a guy that worked under a quad Master certified mechanic that love to teach. You hit on all of it. He made me a mechanic where most people want to be a mechanic. I never use a book only for torque specs now that I'm not a active mechanic tend to watch a RUclips page for surprises that book won't tell you the surprise once in the job
really appreciate the time and effort you put into making this video.your method of explanation makes it so easy to understand every detail.thank you so much.
Information in detail, no bullshit...
Really good, keep it up!
An exceptional demonstration of automotive mechanical, electrical knowledge. Shared so others can learn and gain from your experience and hard work. I take my hat off to you friend. Well done.
my alternator is on a 94 previa, recently the headlights, dash and dome light intermittently dim and brighten slowly like im flashing someone with my headlights but its very subtle but noticeable. been watching videos on how to replace some of this stuff myself as i cant buy a whole new alternator right now. very informative vid, thank you!
Best alternator video on internet thank you 😮
Very well done mate.
Amazing, clear, concise and informative. Love the video man!
Best alternator video I've ever seen. Good job!
A genuinely thorough and helpful video! Thank you!
Best video on alternators I have seen yet!
I totally agree! The Junky DIY guy explains alternators perfectly.
Phillip Suitt
I totally agree with you.
It is a long video however you put so much information in it and it’s very helpful
Fantastic video, thank you. Very informative and easy to follow. Well put together, and thought out.
Videos like this is what make RUclips great.
thank you for your great videos! I'm not a mechanic but learned quite a bit from your vids
Outstanding!! Thank you for taking the time to make this very detailed video!
Numbers for reference on AC leakage?? It's this kind of info that makes many subscribers. Thank you.
best video explaining alternators, thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
You explain really good! Thank you!
Your videos are very well done. Thank you for the detail.
W0W! Talk about Testing to depths I never knew existed! Thanks! . . . _now > to test my brain for efficient 'holding power'_ = )
I think my heart just grew two sizes larger to make room for Junky DIY guy.!!!!
Best DIY video I've seen on RUclips. Great job. Going to subscribe.
very nicely explained. i would like to add couple of things plz excuse me. while checking the rotor & stators also check their ground resistance. i.e their should be very high resistance between slip rings & its shaft, also between stator & alternator's body. thanks
This is by far the best video on alternators I have seen! great job!
So far [~20yrs] the best alternator vid on the t00bs
very precise demo and lecture . Thanks !
Wow, this was informative. Thank you and I'll be checking out your other videos! (:
ha haa thanks,
Whoever narrated this did a way better job than the f****** school I went to dude you're awesome
My goodness one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen
Thank you so much for an informative video. I have a parasitic drain and have pulled every single fuse in the car and it does not make any difference. Put a voltmeter switched to AC across the battery and wow, 29 Volts AC! That looks like a bad diode in the alternator!
Excellent video, thorough and easy to understand explanation!
Hats off to you my dude, your a beast by covering all angles! Much love
Oh man, this is the best. I've watched a ton and you sir are a master. Thank you!
Brilliantly laid out step by step explanations and visual points! My friend I have legitimately gone through hundreds of videos here on RUclips and yours was by far thee best in this category! I'm going to be in here like swimwear and dive right into your other videos!
Very well done mate!! And thank you for creating this channel!! 👌
Thank you very much
Great presentation, very informative. 5 star!!!
Wow! That was quite replete. I honestly didn’t know there was that much to know about an alternator. I’m certain to watch this several times to absorb all the information. Thanks.
Extremely clear explanations and advice. Thank you.
Wow, best explanation ever straight to the point.
good job , for sure one of the best videos outthere
i'll subscribe.... and i sudenly expert about car alternator. my brain increase 50 HP just after watch your video. thanks dude...
