What's the simplest way to to test a car alternator (12 volt system)? Type of testing instrument needed and range calibration?
Gauge in van is stuck, doesn't move during charge or discharge. Battery seems ok when externally charged.
Alternator may have been damaged by antifreeze "flooding" due to insecure radiator cap. (link)

Well, the easiest way to do this is to take the van to the nearest parts store or garage. Most parts places have a test rig that tests alternator output under load as well as battery condition. If you are nearby such a place, just fully charge the battery and drive there during the daylight (so you don't have to use the lights.) Please also remember not to use any electrical items you don't have to. Radio, A/C, blower motor, and anything else you don't absolutely need, should be left off while you are taking care of this.
As far as testing it at home, the fastest way would be to set your multimeter to DC and the appropriate range (if your meter isn't auto-ranging, that is.)
Before you start the vehicle, place the multi-meter leads on your battery terminals and see what the voltage is, without a charger connected.
Then start the vehicle, and go out and repeat the measurement you just did. At the very least, your voltage should have climbed substantially. Most vehicles these days seem to charge between 13.8-14.4 VDC.
If you aren't seeing that, then it is time to replace your alternator, or voltage regulator, if it isn't built into the alternator already.
Your local parts store will be able to tell you if the voltage regulator is internal or external to the alternator, if you don't already know.
While you are at it, I would get an aftermarket ammeter and voltmeter for your van, if you are fairly handy and feel it wouldn't be much of a challenge to install. This way you can always see your charge state and alternator output voltage at a glance.
Hope the repairs go easy for you.

|
Yes, you could be pregnant. You might not be. Only way to tell is with a test.
Buy a pregnancy test and follow the instructions, or go to your doctor for a test.
If you are not ready to have a baby, please keep sperm away from your vagina in the future.
I hope everything works out for you.

This girl I follow on Tumblr posted a video with a song in the background that I really like, what is it?
I tried asking her myself but she hasn't answered me. It looks like she hasn't been online for a few weeks. Thanks! (link)

Please re-ask this, and provide a link to the video. Would be pretty hard for us to read your mind. ;-)
Thanks.

Yes, it is possible to get pregnant at ANY time in your cycle.

You disgust me. That is awful advice. She didn't do anything wrong besides be a typical woman. You telling her that you want to smack her is ridiculous. I think you should be the one smacked. Have a nice day prick. (link)

Hi there,
The person you intended this for, does not allow inbox questions. Since you felt strongly enough to write, and this ended up in the admin's box, please send me another message containing a link to the abusive answer and I will take care of it.
Thank you.
|
|
Thanks for that, I just wanted to ask, is it of significance that I was seeing the lady who died? I was basically climbing up the escalator to see her. (link)
|
Sorry, the person you asked this to must not allow inbox questions. Check their column to see if they have listed any other contact method.

I have recently started going on dates with many guys, as well as making new friendships. Now I have four guys who are all interested in me, but I do not know which one to go for. I am very athletic ad adventurous, outgoing, chill, person. So the first guy is older than me, he is a different nationality, very good looking, I met all his friends and they're all really great. He just isn't as adventurous as I am. The second guy is also older but we have alot in common. I have known him for along time but I never thought o us dating ever throughout the years of knowing him. So maybe I'm not that into him? The third has gotten me into fishing, he likes hiking with me and loves my dogs as much as I do. Te fourth is my age, cute ad we have alot of similarities, he also broke up with his girlfriend after he had started talking to me, and he was discussing it with me before, he is also someone I have known for a long time. I am also a 19years old. (link)

Does anyone here think they would read a *very, very, very* long question? Will the Advicenators team delete it because it's too long? What id I have to slit it into 2 questions?
Thank you all in advance! I will put the link in additional info for anyone who's interested! It'll hopefully be up in a few days, maybe a week. This question is important to me so I want to know how everyone will react to it and if you'll actually read the whole thing. (link)
|
Since I have had control of this site, no question has been deleted for being too long. Never.
In fact, it really amazes me when people will type FIVE lines and then proceed to apologize for it being so long! :-)
General rule of thumb: More details are better, endless rambling about nothing is bad.
Take all the space you need to express the problem, but if you begin to feel like you are just rambling about things that won't help people answer you, then step back a bit.
As to will people read it all: Well, some people will, and those people who have the attention span of a gnat headed for a windshield will not.
Piece of advice: Ignore those people. Don't write your question for THEM. You don't want their advice anyway, if you get what I am saying.

Do you know how many people buy Advicenators' Cafepress products? More than 10?
Who designed them? (link)

I don't know the details on purchases. I left that with spacefem, so I have no idea.
As far as I know the characters were designed by spacefem.
You could ask her by inboxing spacefem with the same questions.

Can level 2 moderators see deleted questions?
Can columnists with paid accounts see deleted questions?
Can level 3 moderators see deleted questions?
Can the one who wrote the website only see deleted questions? (link)
|
Yes.
Sometimes.
Yes.
No.
:-)
If you have something you need deleted, inbox me with a link and a good reason, and I will either sanitize it if it has personal info, or move it to the orphan's account if it is something that merits it.
Thanks,
DN.

I think i'm benig hacked..Half the questions asked on my account were NOT created by me.... (link)

Hi there,
It is always possible on any site, but it is very unlikely that this is what is happening here.
Please send me a list of questions that were NOT asked by you, and I will look into it.
Thanks,
DN.
P.S. The usual things that happen:
1) Someone picks an extremely easy to guess password.
2) Someone else has access to a computer you logged in from, and you may have forgotten to click the "logout" link when you were done.

so i saw what you put as a comment about the "stretch marks" column and i think you were considerably rude, just very rude. (link)
|
Hi there,
Pretty sure this wasn't meant for me. That means the person you meant it to go to doesn't allow anonymous inbox questions.
If someone was rude, please send a link to the question to me directly (I administer this site) and I will get it taken care of.
Thank you.
