Stator Ground Test
- Remove stator from alternator. Set ohmmeter to X1000 scale. Connect one ohmmeter probe to any stator lead. Connect other probe to stator core. Ohmmeter indication should be infinity.
- If meter needle moves, stator winding is shorted to core and must be replaced. Repeat test for each stator lead. DO NOT touch probes or stator leads, as an incorrect reading will result.
