Oh yes and through the light. The buld was fine but did'nt illuminate so the wiring problem is clealy with that wire. So surly all ive done is cut out the problem?
 
no

yu have created a problem. the lamp is there to limit the current to the alternator.

yu really have no idea, do you? I suggest yu speak to a vehicle sparky before yu set fire to your vehicle :doh:

change yo usercp to show where yu are.
 
No I really dont, hence asking on a forum for advice.

If the lamp isnt illuminated while the alternator is running how is it limiting the current?

lots of info if you want to see how alts work.

you need the bulb or a suitable resistor, they aren't designed for 12v.

doubtful it'll explode into flames, but you could end up killing your alt.. which tbf isn't going to be too happy not having an exciter all this time.

all you really need to do is unscrew the two screws on the dash where the lamps are and see if the bulb is blown.. swap it for another ;)

Ive checked the bulb and connctions and they are fine. To be honest it needs a re wire as its a mess, it has been since I had it.

So a suitable resistor in my link should do the trick?

And I know its not going to burst into flames, people do seem a bit OTT on here but im used to that now!
 
If it gets me through this weekend then it kills the alternater then so be it. I have a new lume at the ready for it and its already well overdue.
 
go take the lamp bit out of the dash, remove the bulb, stick multi in and check for 12v, etc . it'll be quicker or just leave it. it might work for a bit, might not.. your choice :)

I have no intention if helping yu further. You ask the Q and then ignore advice.

On your own head be it.

Yeah cause Daft really needs an extra post or two :doh:

Have you ever wondered why a whole bunch of folk that know more than you and were trying to help you say 'NOOOO!'?

Must just be because they're twunts eh :rolleyes:

When you fry yer alternator I've got another you can have for a reasonable price :)























It doesnt work but lets face it, that won't make much difference :doh::doh:
 
What have I argued against?

People say "NOOOOOOOO" without explaining why? Like I said im not clued up on the subject so I asked for advice. None of this i have argued against I have just asked for people to explain why.

Already have a spare but thanks for that kind offer.
 
And looking at his profile he has children and grandchildren but still has time to gain 67k posts!!! This is proof he is a looser.

Now Ive told you hes a douche then I have explained the reason why. Evidence to back up my statement.
