LEDs and alternator
Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2019 10:41 pm
I've been using an alternator for a while. Just replaced it after a few years as it seems a diode was faulty as the red generator light glowed at low revs. It's a brand new high output one. So far so good.
I had hoped the previous faulty alternator was responsible for the LEDs in the indicators speeding up their flashing on the engine over run and when revs increase. However this happens with the new alternator as well!
Side/ stop and tail/ number plate LEDs all fine.
What if anything is the solution?
I do think LEDs have increased my car's visibility and new LED headlights are great.
