Q: Alternator overproduces power above roughly 5,000 RPM, how badly do I need to replace it? Worst case scenario?
2000 nissan Maxima, 165,000 miles Bought a used alternator around 150,000 miles
Basically pretty much only when I floor it (which is more often than your average driver for me haha) any electronics will go overboard for anywhere from a half-second to about two seconds tops. This includes the fans blowing harder, and the lights getting brighter mainly, and two lights will come on in the dash. It is fairly reproduce-able and not random. Could the ECU crash eventually?? : /
