This is why having a clear understanding of the is non-negotiable for technicians and DIY enthusiasts alike.
A slight hum is normal as the AVR switches the field current at high frequency. A loud buzz indicates a loose mounting or failing internal capacitor.
Connect the ignition switch (ON position) to the charge lamp, then to the terminal. If you lack a lamp, a 100–200 ohm resistor (5W) can work, but a bulb provides visual feedback.
