good news starts when you earth to engine.
So now what it is who knows. I see if auto elec who looked at starter can get it in.
thanks let you know what they find.
I wonder if earth strap or something else let you know the outcome probably a week or so :(
According to the wiring schematics there's a 400mm long braid somewhere. On my L322 its at the bottom front right of the engine near the alternator to the nearby body.
I got the car back from Auto Elec
Said Alternator had gone and shorted earth.
Said it really should not of happened.

He said Earth strap looked good although added a extra to be sure.
Was not cheap to fix around $1400 I think gen Alternator alone. Thought to go aftermarket prob should off :) Half the price or less
Cost us now over $5k in the last few months :(
Good result. Denso oem alternator retails for around 700bucks, takes an hour or two to fit. Given they squeezed you in in a hurry and were able to get an alternator in time, and add an extra earth, final cost is not too bad
thanks was around $1400 for the part $500 I think Labour.. Probably should of just paid for the Denso instead.Quote:

Alternator failing is not uncommon or the short to ground, but normally that manifests itself in other ways. Glad you have it resolved
