Wondered why my generator light never came on, It's because there aint any!!! The battery does charge so I looked behind the dash for a roaming extra socket and buld by no gots. What are the color of the wires that go to the socket?

thats really odd. Theres a blue wire that needs resistance (from a bulb) that makes everything start(on the alternator) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) it's a blue wire. the second one should be red/white. the blue wire goes to pin 2 on the relay board. the circuit won't function correctly without the bulb ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy PS: grab yer haynes manual ... '74 (if you're not afraid of current flow diagrams), page 175, upper left corner, K2 is the bulb otherwise, use the diagram on page 164 (which is for a '73, but that part is identical) |
