Alternator Field Circuit Breaker Tripping.

[CO_Skymaster]

Paul,

When I bought my Skymaster over 4 years ago, I keep having the same problem. The rear alternator had failed and the front alternator circuit breaker kept tripping off line. I solved by problem unscrewing, cleaning (with cleaner and steel wool) all the contacts. There are the 3 contact cylinders on the front firewall on the pilots side. I removed all the wires, nuts, and components and cleaned them. I also cleaned the contact on the voltage regulator and overvoltage circuit. After that, my front alternator never went off line. I had the rear replace and have not had the problem since.
