I am stuck in sly nevada with a snow storm coming. While flying here everything was fine but right after landing my alternator quit charging. I have a new 10 hours flight time 14684 alternator. My old alternator was a self exciting alternator, so when I bought the 14684 they converted it into a self exciting.
Right now when I start I show a charge from the alt but after 10 seconds that goes away.
I can order a new alt but not sure that will do much good because it will be wired for a field switch.
The wire from my alt goes through a solenoid which is controlled by my alt switch.
Would I be able to order a new 14684 and just wire the field switch to my alt switch and fly home?
Love to hear any input...
Thanks
