Folks,

Been following the P manual on the diagnosis front for the alternator in my /6. "Charging contol lamp does not extinguis shen speed increases".

Cause:
a ) earth short circuit in line D+/61 between alternator and regulator
b ) Regulator defective
c ) Exiting diodes are interupted

What I know thus far - swapped regulators with a known good one. No change.

So I'm down to a) or c).

a ) says "test with ohmmeter and repair if required". How do I do this? I have an "Equus 3000" (prolly a 20 yr old volt/ohm meter). I can find one end of the D+ line. Where is the other? (anyone btdt?)

c ) the p-manual gives formulas for using a "Bosch Alternator Tester". I don't have one of these (of course). Is diode testing something one can do with a boring ohm meter?
