In this episode of Patch & Play, Nigel the campervan is back in the spotlight, but this time we’re tackling an elusive problem with the alternator that’s crucial for our travels. Join me as we dive deep into the electrical heart of Nigel to diagnose and resolve an alternator starting issue. 🚐🔧
🔧 What We’re Doing:
• Initial Testing: I start with a detailed assessment using a multimeter and oscilloscope to measure the electrical outputs and understand where the problem might be coming from.
• Alternator Examination: Watch as we remove the alternator to inspect it up close. I’ll walk you through each component’s role and how to test them effectively.
• Voltage Regulator Replacement: After pinpointing the issue, we replace the faulty voltage regulator, a key component that might be causing the alternator to lag at normal idle RPMs.
• Reinstallation and Final Tests: We reinstall the alternator and run more tests to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Will this solve the problem? Tune in to find out!
🛠️ Why This Episode Is Important:
The alternator is essential for powering your vehicle’s electrical systems and charging the battery. Understanding how to diagnose and fix issues like this can save you time and money, making you more self-sufficient on the road.

Great!
Many thanks. I usually also place the wheel under the van as well for safety.
Me too, I don't feel safe underneath any car vehicle.
When I first started working on cars a few years ago, I wouldn't go under. Up until I had no other choice like for this repair. Now I'm more comfortable but I do put multiple supports, at least 2 and add the wheel as an extra precaution.
