alternator or voltage reg?
Car is a 1990 190E 2.6, 5-speed.
177K miles, unknown if alt is original or not, however, I changed the voltage regulator 6 months ago when it failed causing a dead battery. Today's symptoms: battery and ABS idiot lights came on Voltage at battery with engine on: 13.9V If I disconnect the negative terminal, voltage reads ~10V at idle, increases as RPM goes up with peaks to ~16V. ![]() So, does a defective voltage regulator (remember it's only 6 mo. old) make the most sense or is the alternator also suspect? Thanks! |
