    Default VL Alternator URGANT

    Ok well i have a 1986 vl calais series 1, its electromic fuel injection and the alternator doesnt charge the battery, so the battery goes flat, the fuel isnt injected and the car stalls.

    All wires for the alt have been checked are connected fine, what is the problem, and is there a "How to" on how to fix it.

    try replacing the regulator, its usually the main reason alternators die.

    make sure you disconnect the battery before you take it off or put it on if you arent removing the alternator from the car.
