This sounds like what was going on with my Hiace.....
Put a multimeter across your battery and see if it is charging or not, if it is then it's your battery.
If it isn't charging then check that the belt(s) to your alternator are ok and adjusted correctly.
Good luck....

After less than 2 weeks since I got my alternator fixed... I lost power again... I just parked my townace for just 10mins... its imposible that the battery got drained in that short amount of time... the only accessory that uses the battery is the alarm... I had it checked the next day and everything seems fine and the battery is charging.
How would I know if my battery is discharging power while i was parked?

Disconnect the negative connection to the battery. Bridge the gap with a multi meter. There should be some flow as the sliding door is open. Close that and unless you have an alarm, only a trickle to the radio should be on. The alarm would be minimal in normal use.
If you have anything near 12 volts showing you have an open circuit.
One thought have you pressed the black button above the steering lock and turned the key back one further click before removing it?

Thanks for the advice Phil... Its been weeks now and I haven't encountered battery problems... its just it takes a bit of seconds before the engine starts... hope everything would be fine.
Yup... i pressed the black button... else i would not be able to remove my keys and lock the doors. ;)

I read on Ace Answers about the key being able to be removed without pressing the button. I checked mine and found I could remove it in all but the starting position. I can even leave the engine running without the key in.

whoah! that was a revelation... maybe I have remove my keys still in accessories... damn it!
I hope I can find that this in Ace Answers... archive is so large already... hope you could recall and post it here.
Thanks. =)

i came back here on the off chance and find that people are still posting on this forum and that seems to be defeating the object of having a new bok site.
the new site is here.....

i know the bok will still be on this site but the new site is much better laid out.
i don't know what the gaffer has in mind to do with this one.

hi guys... last night my townie won't start 'again'. i had it checked ths morning at the garage says that the alternator can't charge my batteries when i had my aircon, radio, park light and headlights on... my alternator needs replacement.
I just want to ask the model/type/description of the alternator when i ask for replacement.
Thanks
- (#1759) Jeffrey, 15 Jul 05 20:23
One identical to the original would be the simplest. There are quite a number of different ones- different output, internal or externally regulated, with or without vacuum pump.
But a specialist might be able to repair yours...
- (#1759) David Miller, 16 Jul 05 02:28
that was a good idea but eventually it will wear again... specialist here in ph suggest to replace it rather than to repair it... i found the model no. in ace answers.

Jeffrey, good afternoon!
The alternator is not a subject to restoration in two cases:
1. Windings (wire's stator is very strong damaged)...
2. are charred. Are worn out up to a limit coup. rings on a rotor the rest is under repair, diode the bridge varies, it is possible to make it remote, to pick up a regulator depending on the scheme of inclusion. 100 % of success depend on the competent expert on repair of generators!
Success!

Do you think there's really a problem with my alternator or just battery problem or something wrong with wirings?
i'm getting second opinion this weekend.
thanks for the response. =)

Yes, if the accumulator already old, or does not suffice electrolit or plates are damaged in him, is quite possible, as the accumulator does not hold a charge, measure a pressure on it by means of the voltmeter, before start-up of the engine and after start-up, at the working engine should be nearby 14V if the pressure was or 12-11 volt will continue to remain - CHARGE is not present! Then it is 1C regulator jr 1C alternator have problems...

Thanks...
Here's a complete history...
Last June13 the garage replace my diodes and the charging goes well but I notice the I have a loose belt squeeking... in less than two weeks(June24), batteries are weak again... the garage checked it again and everything is fine... and last July15 it goes weak again the garage diagnose that when my aircon on, headlights/tail lights ON, radio on, accessories on my battery charge is only 12v... garage says it should 13.5v-14v.
I'll let other specialist look at it this weekend.

When all electrodevices at you are included, especially when air-con is included, at you the system of increase in turns (vacoom switch), that lifting turns on a tachometer of 1200-1300 turns should work. Then at you will not be so consumers to unload the accumulator. Even with such loading should not be просадки less than 13 volt. Check up a tension of a belt of the generator, whether slides it. Well and brushes on a winding of a rotor has changed or still is not present???
To model and a photo of a socket of your generator you can send to me? I shall try still than to help you!
