![]() Thats unusual. So pulling that fuse would isolate the alternator from the rest of the system and the battery, thus preventing the alternator discharging the battery assuming it might be doing that?

I wouldn't advise that anyone removes this fusible link and attempts to start the engine since an alternator shouldn't be run with its output open circuit. Simon.

Taking out that fuse would probably stop the car. ![]() Last edited by COLVERT; 11th March 2012 at 19:43.. |

![]() Alternator should be putting out more than 12.5 volts. Normally that are around 14.5+ volts to overcome internal resistance of battery. That is why warning light is on as it is not really charging.

![]() It is a fuseable link, a strip of metal, it cannot be removed like a normal fuse.
