Mercedes-Benz W203 C-Class Alternator Replacement

The alternator charges the battery and provides your car with a constant source of electricity while the engine is running. Over time, the alternator will begin to fail and cause trouble with the various electrical devices in the car. If you suspect alternator trouble, you need to check to see that is operating correctly, and is indeed the cause of the problems with your charging system. Sometimes bizarre electrical problems can be caused by a number of faults other than the alternator. It's important to troubleshoot the system prior to replacing your alternator. The first thing to check is the battery light on the instrument cluster. This light bulb is part of the alternator field circuit; if it burns out the alternator will not charge. Simply turn the key on and see if it illuminates briefly then goes off. If the light does not illuminate, you'll need to replace it before continuing. Inspect the belt that drives the alternator. Is it tight and amply turning the alternator? If not, then check that the belt tensioner is working correctly. Modern belts seldom break, but they get brittle and glazed with age, and can slip on their pulleys. Replace the belt with a new one as required. The next item to check is the voltage at the battery. Before performing any tests of your alternator, charge and test your battery. If the battery is faulty, your alternator tests will not be accurate. This should read a little more than 12 volts with the engine off. Next check the voltage of your charging system under load, the voltage should be within 13.2: 14.5 volts d/c. To load, have engine running at idle, turn on headlights and HVAC blower motor. Never disconnect a battery cable while engine is running to test alternator, you may cause damage to alternator or other electrical components from the surge in amperage. If your battery appears to be leaking, then your voltage regulator has probably failed. The battery will usually only leak acid if it has been overcharged at a much higher voltage. If the voltage measured at the battery is more than 14.5 volts when the engine is running, then the regulator is probably bad. If your battery has boiled over and has acid overflowing out the top, make sure that you clean up any spilled acid immediately. Dousing the area with a water and baking soda solution should help considerably to neutralize the acid, and prevent it from eating away at the metal. An important item to check on your car is the engine ground strap. The engine is electrically isolated from the chassis by rubber motor mounts. If the engine ground strap is damaged or disconnected, you will have problems, including electrical system malfunctions, no and/or difficult starter cranking. If you've checked all of these things and you still have charging problems, it's likely the alternator will need to be replaced. Read the Full Article: https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...
