The four main parts of a car's alternator are the regulator, rotor, stator, and diode bridge.
had the same problem... in the alternator are two charcole sticks they ware down after a while and then they ground out on the inside of the alternator. I took mine apart and changed the 2 sticks. this was a lot of work its easier to buy a used alternator. to see if this is your problem just disconect the power wires to the alternator start the call and then see if the fuse blows
The simplest method to check where the problem lies, remove the negative cable. If motor still running problem lies with battery.if not running problem lies alternator .
What, exactly, is the problem?
A quick way to tell if there might be a problem with an alternator is to remove the positive side battery cable from the battery while the vehicle is idling. If the engine dies, odds are there is an alternator problem.
alternator needs to be replaced. battery also might be a problem due to the alternator not charging it
