HELP...CAR DIED AT SCHOOL!!!

[jrichker]

So the field winderings are basicly an electromagnet. When there is no current from the battery, there is no magnetic resistance to create any energy? Then the stock alternators on our Mustangs can not create an energy to run the car then right?

You got it... no battery, no alternator output. A weak battery can make for low output.

Thanks for the info!

hey fellas i thought i give an update on the car....it ended up bein the alt. after all. i had my dad come drive up (30 min drive) with some tools so we could take the alt. out and bring it to AUTOZONE and test it. it did come back negative of course, and so i bought some newer ford alternator made for mustangs but the guy said that these came with a differnt wiring harness hook-up than on the stock GT's. so after figuring out this harness problem we had the car up and running in about 1 hr. thanks for all your help boys, much thanks.

was the alternator for a 94-95 stang? did you upgrade the power wires from the alternator to the solenoid?

glad to hear it is up and running.
