Power electrical devices of the car Peugeot 305

Battery — removal and installation
1. The battery is located in the engine compartment next to the radiator. 2. Unscrew the knurled nut and disconnect the negative (green) cable from the battery. Disconnect the positive (red) cable in the same way. 3....

Battery — inspection and maintenance
1. Check the electrolyte level in each battery cell weekly. The electrolyte level should be 10 mm above the plates. If necessary, add distilled water to the battery, making sure that the electrolyte does not spill out...

Battery — electrolyte replacement
1. If the battery is fully charged, but the specific gravity of the electrolyte in one cell is 0.025 or more lower than the others, check each cell for a short circuit using a voltmeter (a voltmeter connected to a cell...

Battery — charging
1. Under normal conditions, the battery should be kept charged by the alternator. The need to frequently charge the battery from an external source indicates a faulty battery or generator, or that the battery charge is...

Generator — general description
The generator produces alternating electric current, which is converted into direct current by diodes. This current is used to charge the battery. The main advantage of an alternator is that it is capable of delivering...

Generator — maintenance
1. The only parts of the generator subject to wear are the brushes and rotor bearings. 2. Brushes should be inspected every 120,000 km and replaced if necessary. The bearings are sealed and do not require lubrication....

Generator — special precautions
1. When charging the battery in a car, you should disconnect it from the rest of the electrical system, otherwise you may damage the generator diodes. 2. When the engine is running, the generator should not be...

Generator — removal and installation
1. Open the hood and disconnect the negative and then positive wires from the battery. 2. Note the position of the generator power wires and then disconnect them from its rear cover (see photo). 3. Loosen the adjusting...

Alternator Drive Belt — tension adjustment
1. Proper alternator belt tension is critical to extending its service life. If the belt is too loose, the battery may not be fully charged; if it is too tight, the generator bearings may wear out quickly. In any case,...

Alternator Drive Belt Replacement
1. Disconnect the wires from the battery. 2. Before removing the alternator drive belt, it is necessary to remove the water pump/fan drive belt ( see Chapter 2A, Section 10 ). 3. Loosen the generator pivot and adjusting...

Generator brushes — removal, inspection and installation
1. Generator brushes can only cause problems if they are worn out. The brushes are part of the exciter circuit of the electromagnetic field and rest on the rings on the rotor. 2. Disconnect the wires from the battery....

Replacing brushes on a generator with a built-in voltage regulator
1. Given the large number of different types of generators used, a specific procedure for each of them is not given. The instructions below are for the Paris-Rhone 750W generator (for other generators by analogy, taking...

Checking the generator on a car (all models)
1. If the generator does not charge the battery, check the condition of its drive belt and its tension. Check the reliability of the generator and battery wires. 2. To accurately measure the generator output current,...

Starter — general description
The starter is located on the clutch housing under the intake manifold. It is a pre-engaged starter type and has a solenoid in its upper part (see photo). The starting circuit is activated when the ignition key is...

Starter — checking the engine
1. If the starter does not work, check the condition of the battery by turning on the headlights. If they glow brightly for a few seconds and then their light begins to gradually fade, the battery is discharged. 2. If...

Starter — removal and installation
1. Disconnect the ground cable from the battery. 2. To improve access to the starter, remove the air cleaner and intake manifold (if you can't get to the starter terminals) ( see chapter ZA ). 3. Unscrew and remove the...

Starter — disassembly and assembly
1. Unscrew and remove the nut securing the starter wire to the solenoid terminal. Disconnect the wire and put the nut back on the terminal so it doesn't get lost (see photo). 2. Unscrew and remove the 2 nuts of the...
