Re: alternator problem?



Lee,

Just replaced the alt on my '91 200qw.  When it failed, I was treated to
three warning lights lit: Battery, Brake, and ABS OFF.  Prior to the total
failure I had these lights once after drive in heavy wet slush.  The day of
the total failure was another slushy day.  Prior to the failure I also had a
high pitched squealing on very cold days until the car warmed some.  This was
not the typical fan belt squeal; it sounded more like a bearing sound.  Now
with new (reman) Bosch alt and new belt, no squeal on cold mornings.
