I think the idea of running a replacement wire is a good one i'll try that. Am I on the right track if I cut the green wire at both ends an replace with a new wire in between?

But I changed the pcm with the same results. What other cables or devices could short out?

Changed alternator still putting out ^36 volts. Checked cable from aternator to pcm and continuity and no short to earth with pcm removed.

Changed ECU fault continues, tightened battery terminals faulty continued. Disconnected the alternator loom at junction plug and reconnected and system worked fine then checked with multimeter it read 14 volts had a friend rev the engine up and the fuse blow checked alternator voltage back up to...

I've used my multimeter to measure it of the back of the alternator and at the fuse terminal or what's left of it. I know this is out of left field but could loose terminals contribute to the ECU sensing a high load and pumping out the high voltage to overcome the high resistance? The condition...

Thanks there's nothing obvious but I'll continue to look for the fault, you don't think it could be the ECU? do you?

Its my sons 1995 Xj. I've changed alternators twice and changed the loom twice. I thought the regulator was the black rectangular box of the back of the alternator but you are saying the regulator is in the pcm? is this correct? This seems to happen after the battery has been disconnected for...

My alternator just pumped out 39 volts blowing the main fuse. This is the second time this has happened. The first time it happened I replaced the regulator and loom and its been good for almost a year. Could it be a faulty regulator again or should I be looking for another reason why I'm...

yep head sorry. I like the idea of putting it on the thermostat housing I've already purchased the drill and tap as I'd thought of drilling a hole in back of engine block in the stock position but decided against that. Thanks for the reply i'll keep you posted as to how I get on.

Its a 95 RHDxj classic model but the engine is from a 97 tj Wrangler and doesn't have the hole in the rear of the block to put the sensor.

is there a way to use the sensor on the thermostat to measure the temp. Then -perhaps manual operate the electric fan? I swapped a motor from a tj into my xj and it doesn't have the rear temp hole. So apart from changing heads I dont know a way to have both sensor working. Any ideas?

you know you're a redneck.......... when your ramp is a busted arse XJ :)

oh ,I nearly forgot.............................. You're ugly too......... hahahahaha

hey arsehole, another reason to hate me............................ Im 47 with a full head of hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha Ha Ha
