Alternators Rebuilt

[Don Bradner]

The delay is on the fault light. The switch worked, but one alternator had no
output, and that was apparently real. After replacing both alternators with a
pair that are identical models I have output in all three switch positions, and
the center position is roughly double what each is showing separately.

I would not expect to get the fault light, but I haven't driven it long enough
since the alternators were installed to tell. The delay is roughly 30 minutes.

I have uploaded my schematic here:
