914 G light Out Options

[frankc]

Good Afternoon,

I have searched and read on this site and PP on alternator/charging issues. I followed the guidelines on PP when the light is out and now feel the issue is pointing to the alternator.

Background:

This 74 2.0 has sat for 14 years (ran when parked) and I towed it home a few weeks ago. Following guidelines here and PP, I was able to revive the engine on Sunday.

I have a number of issues from just sitting and I am knocking them out one by one.

Problem: G light is not lit when I turn the ignition key.

Checked the following :

1. Bulb tested good out of socket.
2. 0V at the blue wire on the instrument end.
3. Continuity to the harness at the relay board is good.
4. 0 volts at PIN 2 of the big connector (D+)
5. Relay board traces between alt harness pins and VR check out fine.
6. Cleaned tranny ground strap.
7. 12.1v at the battery while running.
8. Swapped out VR from my 1.8L - no change.

Have not checked the belt (it may be missing- seriously) tension yet.
Have not peeled back the tin to check the alt harness wiring (DF connection).

Have I missed anything?

Electrically, the car is coming around - most everything works except the headlamp doors do not pop up and the fog lights do not work. Perhaps the contacts or the light switch.

Thanks!

Frank
