July 30, 201313 yr comment_663310 You would use a multi-meter, commonly & cheaply available at pretty much any auto/electronics shop. E.g - Repco, Bursons, Jaycar. :) Like one of these: http://search.jaycar...meter&view=list Report
July 30, 201313 yr comment_663322 Get the top one in Luke's link, that's what I've got. $10 well spent... Google up on altys until you understand how they work (pretty simple) and work out which wire is which on yours. Then disconnect the wires from the alty and turn the key on. Check each wire with the multimeter to earth and see if the excitor is live. Report
