Guys, my 1993 ISWARA 1.5 Auto wire came out. Last month it happened too. While driving on the road at about 80km/h ... the air con blower SUDDENLY became so much stronger even though I didnt touch the air con blower knob. Weird!

Then the burning smell came out from the engine bay. I stopped at the road side..opened the hood and saw this wire putus! I can still drive the car home...but once I turned off the engine... i cant start the engine again.

Is it cos my ALTENATOR has overcharged ? I have never changed or the alternator before since the car was new back in 1993 til now in 2020.

The wire will not SUDDENLY putus on its own...unless there is overload of charge, according to my Mechanic over the phone just now. thats why there is a burning smell when it happened.

Can anyone guess if it is the alternator that needs to be serviced so that it wont overcharge or overload?

in case if you dont have fuse in between.. then normally its from a faulty IC on slternator (the output current is way more than the wire can handled).

if there is fuse in bewteen and it is not broken, then you probably need to see wiring expert to trace the source of problem.

I bought a NEW Alternator (not recond) after asking so many people including my trusted mechanic for advice. Yes you could be right. the IC on my old Alternator most likely died which is why it allowed too much current to overflow and overcharge the battery....and in the process 'exploded' my cable.

my car got 90A fuse in between, so i got no worry. on this..

if you sent to replace the IC with carbon brush probably gonna cost you rm150 only.
