A friend of mine who owns n runs an alternator shop. Put it on the machine w/ battery light. Everything worked right. Test light lit up in on n shut off in run and alt cranked out 105amps...so its gotta b wiring in the car. Only thing he said is it could also be a blown fuse. Checked every one and they are all good. Only other idea he had was just to convert it to one-wire capable and then I'd have no light...but really like everything functioning normally
Other than a blown fuse he had no idea, but all he sees is the alternator...all I can figure is something else in wiring. I did open up a can of worms removing ecm. Already fixed the torque converter wiring and ac
the charging system in these cars is very basic so I don't understand why an alternator guy wouldn't have an idea on what's wrong. If he's a friend won't he take a look at the car?
Well kind of a friend of a friend n shop is far away. I know that from charge light it goes through factory voltmeter and gets grounded. Also the pink w/ black tracer that comes from the fuse panel also powers a bunch of other stuff. Other side of light that comes from alternator is real basic just brown wire going through choke heater relay. Let me ask the reason the light is on very dim is because of a difference in voltage on one side of the light right?
The light brown wire goes to one side the pressure switch and the blue wire goes from the other side of the pressure switch to the choke. That switch is there to prevent current going to the choke unless the engine is running and there is oil pressure. It has nothing to do with the charging system. The dark brown wire goes from the alternator through the ignition switch to the alternator light and the pink with black is on the other side of the alternator light coming from the fuse box
My car has rally gauges and was originally v6. I didn't see a blue wire or light brown in the schematics?
Like I said, the light brown and blue wire is for the choke, they have nothing to do with the charging system
Yea I was thinking it had something to do with some of the pink/black wires that go nowhere now without ecm? I dunno I'm grasping at straws here...since battery and alternator are both good, gotta be wiring
