The alternator needs 12V to excite it. These ford alternators will self excite when reved if that 12v is not there.

Check there is +12v on the Ignition wire at the alternator.
If there is there could be a fault with the regulator.

It is attached to the chassis rails using the factory holes and crush tubes, i also have 3mm plate welded to the chassis and the bar also bolted to that. i will take some photos soon.

The winch is actually mounted in a FULL winch cradle. it was laser cut, folded and welded and is made out of 5mm ...

In the RF wold that would not meet australian standards. The radiation pattern would be crap, atleast half your tx power would be in the cab and radtiated through your head.

You would be no better off than using a portable in the cab.

I am very happy with the 3 day turn around that ARB did,

I spoke to the guy at the shop and he said there was no way i would get it fixed or replaced in a week.

All it took was 3 Days and it was replaced with a new one.

Lets just hope the new one i got does not break the bolt off this time.

It all depends on what antenna it is.
A Dipole will show a short circuit.
A ground independant antenna should show open circuit.

To test these you need to make sure there is no short between the inner and outer braid, Do a continuity check between ground and the braid and also a check between the ...

Mine failed this week, i had only had it for 6 months and only used 6 times.

What happend was where the shaft that attaches to the bit thats attached to the motor (The bit that goes round and makes the piston go up and down) Is only held on by a 4mm Bolt. This bolt has sheered off.

What you need to do is check the voltage with lights and other stuff on.

14.6 is not to high, if the battery was flat it would not be able to get anywhere near the 14.6v mark.

Check the voltage with different loads (lights on, Spots on etc) you will see quickly if the regulator is stuffed or not ...

Here is a few pics i have.

My 1.0 had 3 wires at the alternator as it had an external regulator. I dont know why your 1.0 only has 2.

Do you have the external regulator located up under the passenger side??

Did the 1.3L alternator just plug straight in? Was is a round or a square plug?

i though the 1.3's had a round plug ...

B4T thats not your zook is it?

How have you got your front recovery points mounted now with that new bar?

Simon..

so after the long drive are you starting it straight away or some time after?

After a short drive are you starting it straight away or waiting some time.

If straight away is an issue but if your waiting it may be another issue?

If you read the first post all the info is in there.

BUT i would start at the EARTHING.

Simon...

Is it as bad with the antennas on and off????

just trying to elimate the install! Which i know would be purfect.

Once again i have no idea, maybe try these clip on ferrite things might help.

You should be out there now putting the coil in.

Simon....

Hey Pez i feel for ya, i know what it's like. I had the same issue the other day at work but it ended up being the electric thermo fan.

In my zook i run VHF and UHF and have no issues at all.
I run nothing different in the ignition system except a after market high spark coil.

If you need a hand ...

Hey all just a quick one to let you all know the Twin Sticks are in.

Very easy to install, come with great instructions and all that is required for the install.

Will have pics and a write up on it soon.

And must say once again thanks to locktup4x4.com.au

Great product and a great idea.

Cheers ...

Hey Pez now that your an expert you can come and do mine.

Cheers
Simon...

Cheers
Simon...

Thats Great.

I will be sure to do a write up on this for everyone and will also include pics.


Thanks heaps.

Simon..

Well with a 1.0 narrow track short wheelbase i need all the help i can get. The abilty to have better control on the way i can drive would make life much easier and a little less scary.

And i am guessing it is still on this weekend.

Does anyone know the lineup???

Simmo..

here is mine...

According to my 1lt service manual.

White with blue trace is the charge line from the alternator.
Yellow with white trace is water temp sensor.
Yellow with black trace is Oil pressure switch.
black with yellow trace is the starter solinoid.
Yellow and black with a blue trace are the washer bottle ...

Love it Dave.

Looks Smick.

Simon..

Simon..
