[Roadsters] non roadster question

[Garth Cuthbert]

If you suspect your alternator to be a load rather than an energy source,
disconnect its output to the +12V buss and try and start your truck. If the
engine starts and runs for an extended period you have a defective
alternator and or charging circuit issues. I would suggest charging a good
battery prior testing to eliminate a sub par battery.

Hi All,  I have an '87 Nissan Pu.  The battery will accept a charge from
charger.  It will start and run for a short while, a minute or so, then all
the electricals (lights, radio, blower fan etc.) will dim and the engine
will
die.  It has electronic ignition and fuel injection.  I'm guessing the
alternator but would like any input before I go through the hassle of
pulling
it.  It is buried under the A/C unit and looks to be quite a job to get it
off.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Pat Mahoney
