Listers,

Had an interesting problem with my street TR-6 today.Drove it to work and the
ignition light stayed on. The lights were dim., the alt. would only charge
11.5 volts. Driving home the AC worked but when I turned it off the alt. still
only charged to 11 or 11.5 volts, ignition light still on.I shut the car off
and the ignition light stayed on. I cranked it again the ignition light went
off. So now the ignition light stays on when the key is off. I unplugged the
alternator to keep the light from running the battery down.

Anyone else have this problem?
Is the alternator or the ignition switch at fault? How do I go about trouble
shooting the alternator?
Did this Lucas electrical system absorb some sort of gremlin from being parked
in a General Motors parking lot?
(we do use some Lucas parts on the vans we build there)

Help!
