Alternator is Fixed!

I'm back on the road..I had a friend help me today and we moved the wiring around while the engine was running and all of a sudden the light went out and the voltage went to 14.3. I found the nut on the alternator terminal was not tight where it went in the case.. It took a real thin wrench to get it. Tightened it and everything was fine.

Also I had dash lights that would only work in a certain location of the switch. I took the panel light rheostat switch out. I took it apart and cleaned the contacts with a small dremel wire wheel. Did not clean the wire coil. Lubed it and reinstalled it and it works like a dream.

While I was working I also got my front overriders installed and glove box put back in..

A great day in the garage, now the rain can go away so I can drive it!
 
Congratulations for a job well done!

Happy to hear that you're ready to roll.
 
Wow, great day!
Don't worry though, the laws of average will ensure you also get days where everything you touch.....
