landymad839:
well im new to this her goes :D

every time i go throw deep water the alternator stops charging could anyone help me and tell me why.

L90OOK:
Ok...lets start with what engine/alternator  :D
Does the belt slip when water hits it?
Have you tried waterproof conductive grease on the contacts?  :wink:

landymad839:
well its a 2.5TD with a seira alternator  

no the belt is tite and we have put conductive grease on the contacts

when we put a battery tester on when the engine is running it has no charge coming from the alternator  :(

L90OOK:
For how long does this no charge last after water bath?
I would say the alternator is shot, a new one should be cheap enough though.
 :roll:

landymad839:
i wont charge again

we have to put a new alternator on most times we come bk from off-roading  :cry:

thanx 4 that m8
