charging system 850

posted by  someone claiming to be JRS on  Mon Sep 15 05:25 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The 4 year old battery on my 1994 850 T began emmitting puffs of smoke, and odor, and leaking as I drove it. Just the day before, both high beam headlamps blew out and the ABS and TRACS dash lights are staying on. The dealer said they checked the charging system and everything was fine. They installed a new battery and sent me on my way. Two days later - same problem with new battery. Any suggestions?

I'd check into the alternator. Sounds like over charging or too much current coming from it. Check with an ammeter between the leads.
