I'm having issues with the battery draining every couple of days if I don't drive the car.
There is a slight hum coming from the alt [KOEO] and I can barely hear it unless I put my ear near the alt.
I've changed alternators and still have the problem. If I unplug the field wire it stops humming and is fine when I go to start it days later. I just have to remember that I unplugged it and plug it back in which is a pain in the butt.
Is there a way that the field wire is shorting out the rectifier or something else in the alt ? The alt charges between 13.8/14.2 when running with the two alts that I tried.
Is the field wire the problem or the alt ?
