But it's all working fine it seems .No load it's 14.2 at the bat and with load it's 13.8 so it's charging . Also got a double lighter socket with charge lights and they are showing green for good .
Diodes on back of the board for warning lights ,earth to illuminate .Warning light also comes on with ignition so that's OK as well .
Any ideas ??
check the engine earths....also if the battery terminals are not tight or clean it can cause problems.....
give em a wiggle, if in doubt , get em out
All good and tight :confused:
Only thing I've done is put a new trigger sensor on ..........................
ignore it my friend.....it will probably start working as you drive back from Mallory....:agree:
:) Yeh Right !!
Been down to Leicester and back in it today so I know it'll make it that far ,at least once .......
I'm packing some spares though . Alternator ,rotor arms etc .... another core for the turbo and some asbestos fingers .
LOL..............you'll be fine.........don't worry about this one.....
sit in a darkened room until 2 minutes before you leave....
oh, and bring some gaffa tape...:agree::coffee:
Sussed it ......
Two wires come off the alt in addition to the main .One is 12v regulator and the other goes to the dash light and shows if a problem .Tested at the alt ,one is giving 14.1 when earthed ,the other 8.8 .So it's just the warning light circuit gone awol I thinks :smokin:
I can monitor it's charging with the ciggy fingy .
yeah...good man...
Opposite of mine then. My battery light just will not go out.
Went today and got a reckonditioned alternator, didn't cure it.SOmehow,the alternator is not charging the battery.
Checked the two wires that go to the alternator,and I know one is the exciter,and with ignition on, both ar showing a 12v live.
Any clues?:confused:
Is it a new wiring loom billy? ive read on some threads that the 2 alt wires are the wrong way round.
Also is the alt-starter feed connected to the starter?
Nah,same old loom mate, and yep,gray wire is on the starter.Quote:

Strange, must be power/earth related, as the rad fan relay usually gets its power from the alt 12+.
All earths bolted up to the block?
