The generator is the main device in the car, if for some reason the generator does not work, then the machine will not move from the place. The breakdowns can be different, it often happens that the case is not at all in the generator, but simply it does not receive voltage from the engine on the battery terminals. It is not necessary to immediately call a specialist for the repair of this unit, because the cause of the breakage can be eliminated by himself. Here are the advice of experienced auto show, use them.
1
We bring the car, turn on the headlights, the radio (we give a load on the electrician), we apply a plus terminal from the battery to the generator, if it does not work, then this is a breakdown of the generator or regulator, or the battery is not charged. The controller can be replaced with a new one, this device is used to limit the voltage, which generates the generator, the voltage rate: 13.6-14.2.

Next step: Checking battery charging using the device - voltmeter. We start the car, open the hood, on the battery battery there are two terminals (red and black). Contact with a black-colored Voltmeter Couple with a black terminal, and a red-red terminal (do not touch the contacts with your hands). If the voltmeter stops at 14.2-14.5 V, then everything is in order.

Then we do the same when the motor is turned off. The voltmeter readings are considered normal if they are equal to 12.2 V or more. It is necessary to take into account that when the car works, the voltage readings should be higher, this is a sign of the operation of the generator. If not, then without a hundred do not do.
4
The reason for not starting the generator can become a belt. When the belt is not torn, does not mean that it is working. It is often stretched, and because of this slipping and does not scrolls the shaft. In this case, we replace the belt.
5
And finally, check whether any contacts or terminals moved away. And also a strongly hot generator after engine operation means that it will soon break due to worn bearings.
Well, if after checking all possible reasons not to start the generator malfunction of the device is eliminated, otherwise you have to buy a new one.
