Ignition on, car not started, hood open, there is a hum/buzz coming from the alternator. I've done a bit of reading and the general result is the diodes are shot, whuch leaks voltage back.. Which makes sense
I've swapped to my old alt, same hum/buzz and tonight just installed a 1 month old alt with the same noise. Each alt had its own regulator.
the power lead off the alt is ok not in fantastic condition, with only a few copper strands loose. I'll replace this lead in the next week or 2 when time permitts.
Any other ideas on getting rid of this noise
