Title: Worn Brushes
Post by: sepehr on September 09, 2007, 08:15:00 PM

I pulled the regulator/brush assembly last night. The brushes look VERY worn. Hopefully replacing this will solve my charging problem.


For your viewing pleasure.

My battery light never comes on despite no charging. Any ideas?

Speaking of worn brushes, anyone changed the brushes in the blower motor before? I have the squirrel cage out since I had to replace my wiper motor, and I don't relish the thought of digging down to them again any time in the near future.
