So just to report back. The AEG engine alternator fit but the L wire didn't seem to work when connected to the vehicle D+ My battery isolators clacked on/off and the red alt. light did same. I know This was a fairly foolish type of repair to try while on a road trip. Thankfully, nothing electrical appears to be damaged. Bottom line, it sounds like my coolant pump is worn. The noise most certainly is coming from the pump. Neil On Sunday, February 7, 2016, Neil N <musomuso@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all. > > So I just couldn't help myself.
