Alternator Stator

  1. Using an ohmmeter, check resistance across each 3 stator wire connections. Connect test leads across all combinations (A to B, B to C and A to C). See Fig 1.
  2. Resistance across any combination of the stator wires should not exceed .1 ohms on 60-amp stators, or .08 ohms on 70-amp stators. Replace stator if resistance is excessive.
