Reasons Why the Generator Fails to Charge?
1 Answers
Generator not charging may be caused by a blown fuse in the circuit between the battery and the generator. Below are specific reasons and diagnostic methods for generator failure to charge: Reasons: Broken or disconnected wiring between the battery and the generator. The generator may not produce electricity due to short-circuited or open silicon diodes, short circuits, open circuits, or grounding faults in the stator winding or field winding, or the brushes being stuck in the brush holder or the insulation of the 'F' terminal being damaged and grounded. Diagnostic Methods: First, check for loose connections, disconnections in the wiring and plugs between the generator, regulator, battery, and ammeter, as well as whether the fan drive belt is too loose. Inspect the circuit from the generator '+' terminal to the battery '+' for any breaks. Use the vehicle's small bulb as a test light, with one end grounded and the other end touching the generator '+' terminal. If the test light illuminates, it indicates this section of the circuit is intact; if the test light does not illuminate, it indicates a break in this circuit.
