Touchdown! Greaser!
Gaah.
We have an Archer - The one Pete and I brought to Gaston's last weekend - That seems to like eating alternators for lunch. In fact, it's been at Gaston's the last 3 years in a row, and the first 2 out of those 3 it's paid a visit to the shop at Mountain Home for electrical issues. Right when I was sighing with relief because we didn't have to take it in this year, David (dparter) emailed me tonight saying that it's failing - It'll cut out and after he resets it it'll work for 20-30 minutes and cut out again. :-(
It's also possible to hear a whine in the headsets that varies with engine speed and goes away when the alternator is shut off.
What can we do to solve this problem? I know electrical issues are difficult to diagnose, but where should we start given these symptoms?
