I had a perfectly functioning charging system. Red light on when key turned to first position, then off when engine running. Had the battery tested because it didn't seem to hold charge very well. OReilly said battery was bad and replaced it. New battery tested to confirm good.
After installing new battery I have the following conditions: No light when key turned to first position No light when engine at idle Charge light comes on when rpms go up I'm in a bit of a panic since I need to leave on Wednesday for Red Rocks Classic. I've checked George's Tech Tips book and even my trusty VW Idiots Guide. I can't find anything that matches this behavior. Replacing voltage regulator does not change things. Any advice is greatly appreciated! |
