Re: More troubles - suddenly B4000/V6 won't fire up after running day before!

Re: New Alternator still not charging battery, only 12.3v output.

Turns out that the Ground lead in the 3-wire Connector was bad, fixed it and the Alternator is putting out a consistant 14.0 volts.

Problem with the "Red" Alternator is solved.

Re: Turn Signal repair on a 97.

Dan,

Got a few questions for you to help me eliminate all other possibilities that could be causing the Turn signal and Hazard flasher failure.

Re: Turn Signal repair on a 97.

I've had, I believe, the same problem with my 1997 Mazda B-4000 Xtra Cab. Semi-suddenly, no turn sigs and no hazard blinker. Fuses are fine, even tested with a DVM. Nothing else has failed, but I'm...
