Anyone have a problem with their Skylane alternator? The alternator indicator
needles keeps flickering and so do the lights. What was the remedy?
Thx in advance,

Find and fix the loose connections. That specifically includes
the grounds.

I concur. My "master" switch had two poles, one which turns on the
coil to the master relay, and the other pole interupts the Alt
field path between the alternator output and the Voltage regulator.
The ALT half developed a high resistance. The original switch has just
one rocker which operates both poles simultaneously. It was the high
resistance in the switch which casused the alternator pulsation.

On my L model, I replaced the Master switch with the newer style master
switch which has two rockers, one labelled "master" and the other labelled
"alt". These are mechanically interlocked so the "master" side has to
operate before the "alt" side. This allows for starting without having the
alternator on line.
