Thread: Help, Alternator problem?

Just a thought, while reading an old fault finding guide it was suggested that the charging/warning light is part of the charging circuit and when charging is a problem check to make sure the bulb hasn't blown.

Richard I have just replaced my alt cost me 140 was from discovery autos
there should be wire from taco white from memory also ind light and thick B+
there really is not much else xcept for suppresors
I will take a pict of mine if u like and post send tomorrow?

Thanks Brad and Mangie

Those wires are there, I'll just have to rip it off and replace the rectifier and brushes.
Will see Jim at Kev's tommorrow he should be able to put me on the right path........I hope..........just dont want to fork out for a new one at the moment
Mangie;
I have a vague memory that someone has told me some time about the warning light blowing and not being able to complete a circuit, will check that out too.

Richard light needs to work to draw current though exiter diodes for process to start
