have a 1994 Surf KZN130, 3.0 Turbo Diesel, got a bit carried away at the mud at the waimak river and it got a bit of muddy water splashed around under the hood, on the way home all the warning lights came up (battery, t belt, etc) its now not charging, chuck a tester on it and it said alternator failed, im assuming it will be the alternator itself but before I pull it out is there any thing else I should be checking relating to the charging system!
Cheers

have you checked the main 100 amp fuse link if this is blown the alt will not charge

mud won't cause the alt to quit , thay can actually run fully submerged, but mud and water will cause havoc in a lot of the other wiring, and that can cause the alt to blow diodes and then quit - plugging another alt in can often result in a duplication - ie another stuffed alt
needs an auto sparky to check the systems and if he plugs another alt in and it quits it will be his issue
