My alternator light came on so before I look into a replacement, is there any troubleshooting I should do first? Thanks Mike Kelly

Ok, I may be silly but I'm definitely still confused.
Is the lit lamp the one with the big word "OIL" above it, or the other one below the "G" surrounded by a circle? Or is it the big "B" with a circle around it? And is the engine making bangy-bangy noises when you run it? And have you checked your oil level? And have you checked battery voltage via a VOM with the car running? To be more clear...if the lit lamp is the one on the "right" and it's green...then you have an engine oil pressure problem and/or an engine oil pressure indication problem. Don't drive the car until you resolve it. 1974 combo gauge if you do not have center console: http://www.p914.com/p914_gauges_combo-74_front.htm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.p914.com-15565-1537927945.1.jpg) 1974 fuel gauge if you do have a center console: http://www.p914.com/p914_gauges_fuel-74_front.htm (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.p914.com-15565-1537928140.1.jpg) |
