Re: Electrical Woes

I'd start first with a complete cleaning of the batterycables, the mounting areas of the alternator and the positive cable to the alternator. Maybe skip the batterycable to starter/engine side till later as thats a bit annoying to get to, and atleast in my case mostly fine due to a coating of oil protecting it. However in my case the alternator mount was covered in hard corrosion that took quite a bit of sanding to clean off. The positive lead also needed alot of work. The groundstrap from the battery cable to the chassis was also nearly useless with corrosion and the bolt was not even worth cleaning up.

Cleaning up all of that got rid of most of my battery drain/charging issues, and removed the stalling issues.
