Battery not charging on 91 CRX

Larry 6 February 2005 04:36:43
 I've had a 91 CRX for about 6 months. I've let it set for about a month
since we've had some snow, and when I started it yesterday, the dash light
was on that indicates the battery isn't charging. I've looked in the service
manual which says this can be caused by loose belt, blown fuse, bad
alternator, etc. or course. The belt seems ok, the fuse is ok. I see two
connections to the alternator. One is called the 'B' terminal, has a single
wire, and I can get that off. The other connector has multiple wires and
either screws onto the alternator or pushes in; I can't tell which. Does
anyone know how to get this thing off? Also, it looks like a real chore to
get the alternator out of the car. I'd appreciate any help anyone can give
on this problem. Today was the first time it's been above freezing for
awhile and I'm hoping some moisture somewhere turned to ice and might
melt/evaporate if I'm lucky. This is seeming less likely however.

 By the way... "B" stands for Battery... but on to your issue. Before
anything else is done... you should verify what the actual charging
voltage is. This can be done by starting the engine and measuring the
battery voltage with a simple voltmeter/multimete­r. As a rule...
anything below 13.5 or above 14.5 is abnormal. It may help to know if
you're charging at all (one phase failed) or the alternator is
completely dead.

 OK, thanks. I think it is not charging since it seems to be struggling in
starting today which was not the case yesterday. But I'll take the
measurement tomorrow to be more sure.

Is the alternator accessible at all? Try giving it a whack with a rubber hammer
or small chunk of 2x4. One of the brushes may be stuck.
