alternator light, staying on Options

[tomh]

My alternator light is now staying on however I am missing 2 fueses.could this be the problem?All my lights work and are not dimming at all but my blinkers quit.
The 2 fuses i am missing are the7th and 8th from the left side of the fuse box.
What are the amps of the differnt color fuses?
Also where is the regulator located?

for a 1971 914 fuse 7 is for license plate light
fuse 8 is for wipers, horn, lighter and ventalaiton fan

number 8 is a 25 amp fuse, number 7 is a 8 amp fuse

all fuses are 8 amps excpet for numbers 8 and 12

this is for a 71 car.


white fuses are 8 amps, gernally i forget off hand if red or blue is the 25 amp, but the amp rating should be on the fuse body, usually on the side opposite the filiment. glass cased fuses are also avialable that fit they are not color coded

regulator is on teh realy plate in engine bay just behind the drivers position it should be a silver colored rectangular can.

good luck

note framilur with black fuses, white red and blue is what i am used to I think red is the 25 amp, but in small print it should be on teh fuse body. different folks make fuses, cont vouch for the color of aftermarket,

the regulator shoudl haev a couple screws on teh side down low that hold it to the realy plate, unscrew and you shoudl have it off, by pulling it up and out.
