Had an electrical friend(Jim)come over to look at my TR3.
<span style="text-decoration: underline">Things he noticed</span>:
*Red light on dash is on.
*Gauge shows 0 even after starting.
*Gauge shows -3 with park lights on.
*Battery shows 12.5 volts with car off.
*Battery shows 12.5 with car running at 2,000rpm.
He checked everything and said regulator is messed up!
We pulled the control box cover and checked the coils and contacts.
Looking at the firewall the left side contacts were badly corroded. Loosened the lock nut and removed the screw. Sanded it and the other side. Set gap to (.015)and tightened the lock nut.
Now we are charging!
The red light is out on the dash.
The gauge shows a positive 10-12 after starting and slowly returns to about +3.
With all lights on, the gauge still shows +1.
Took a night drive and everything was great, except for the headlights pointing at weird angles!
The gauge shows the battery is being charged, and for the short trips that I take this will be good.
After retuning home tonight the battery voltage checked 12.8
