How old is the Voltage regulator in your car??--Keoke
I've had the car since June; it's older than that. If it's the regulator that would be an excuse to upgrade to an internally regulated alternator, right?------Yeah!- :laugh:
Is this Led issue something that somebody can walk me through-- test wire x and meter should read y? I'm sure I can fix it. I am not sure.
A Led is very sensitive to series resistance. For example it can be dimmed using the forward resistance of a conducting diode. That resistance is very small and out side the scope of standard multimeters. This resistance may reside in the following locations:
1] Fuse block--Clean contacts thoroughly
2} W & E contacts on the regulator--Clean Connectors & tab on BOTH Clean & tighten Ground connection of E on the Car chassis.
3] Ignition Switch Contacts ---Bypass it with a short jumper
As a matter of fact clean all of the contacts and connectors on the Regulator. After each correction recheck the led operation. Make certain the battery is fully charged. If you choose later the internal contacs of the regulator can be cleaned. I hope this will Help .---Keoke quote]
