[QUOTE="Moocow16, post: 253260, member: 544616"] i would just like to say one thing, an alternator cannot turn on or off by itself. It is connected directly to the belt, so as long as your engine is running, the alt is "on". And it's not called an alternator because it can turn on or off, it's because the insides of it are spinning, creating electricity because of the alternating magnetic characteristics that the windings have(that might not be entirely true, but i'm 99% positive). not trying to argue or anything, just trying to spread the truth:) [/QUOTE]
