Test G: Generator Noisy

  1. Check For Accessory Drive Belt Noise & Loose Mounting Brackets

  2. Check Generator For Excessive Electrical Noise

    Disconnect generator 3-pin harness connector. Start engine and let idle. Is the noise still present? If yes, go to next step. If no, replace generator. See GENERATOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Test the system for normal operation.

  3. Check Generator For Mechanical Noise

    Turn ignition off. Connect generator harness connector. Start engine and let idle. Turn all accessories off. Using a stethoscope, check generator for unusual mechanical noise. Is the generator the noise source? If yes, replace generator. See GENERATOR  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Test the system for normal operation. If no, diagnose the source of the engine noise.
