The alternator (red) light would blink faintly when using the turn signals, I researched here and figured it was the voltage regulator. I ordered a new one (Beru) and received it today. It is quite smaller than the Bosch, it doesn't seem to sit properly in the plug and the 2 screwholes don't line up perfectly. tried it anyway the car a 71, started right up as usual, but the alt light is still blinking faintly, no change. what now? TIA for any advice.

Well, you really can't test much on the back of the alternator because of the cover, but check that the B+ wire from the alternator to the starter motor terminal is attached. (The same terminal where the battery cable goes.)
Also, maybe check continuity across the relay board connections where the alt harness plugs in to where the regulator plugs in. Other than that, you might just need to pull the alternator and have it checked. |
