Re: RE: TR6: Alternator, fixed?

Hey Gernot,

 The guage in the dash is over 13 volts, but I was trusting the volt meter to 
be more acturate.

also check the little bulb is fitted correctly and is grounded
correctly, check that the connectors at the alternator are ok and the
wires are not broken. Use an Ohm meter for the wires.Further,whats the
gauge saying, or don't you have a gauge in the dash?
