Argh! It's hot and I'm fed up with Lucas (and Delco)
I have a GM 3-wire alternator in my TR4. It won't charge.
I have checked the circuitry according to Dan Masters' article on the VTR
web site. The light does not dim when the engine revs (not brushes). I
am getting 12V to the battery feed. The light seems to function (goes on
when I ground the lead)
"It worked before..." ...I removed the dash. I think everything's hooked
up properly. Any ideas?
I also frustrated myself with the horn circuit; attempting to shoehorn a
Flamm replacement for my Clear Hooters... just as a temp. fix so that the
car goes "beep" when I press the horn button. No luck. Couldn't even get
my relay to click. (I got the horn to sound but I was beside it-- time to
quit) I think I will run new wires instead of using the ones in the
wiring harness. Resistance checks showed me all wires were grounded (!)
so I think I'll retire them.
