Dying alternator - 96 Disco 1
Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2017 6:30 pm
Hi all,
My original alternator died so I bought a rebuilt one. A month later I came out and the battery was dead. I charged it up and started the truck, alternator dead. Took it back and got a 2nd one. Yesterday morning, battery dead again. I charged it up and started the truck, alternator was fine. Today, after 1/2hr driving, it died again.
I'm going to replace it again, and I've also ordered a new, not rebuilt one, but wondered if their might be some other issue causing them to fail? I have a winch, but it is disconnected when not off roading, and I haven't used it in months. No non-stock, extra drain on the battery when not running.
Thoughts?
