every once in a while start car up and i have no rev counter ,ignition lights and no temp gauge.
then after five mins or so battery light comes on.
i have checked charging voltage and amp output all ok.
checked all the earthing points and general underbonnet wiring but seems ok.
but as i said its now and again which is starting to piss me right off.
anybody suffered similar fault or can offer any advice.

cheers

If you've got nothing on your dash then I think the alternator aint your problem chap.....try checking out your ignition switch for a start and follow it on from there.


Stu.

 

my mate had the same problem even had the aa out to it & they said it was the alternator but traceing it through he found out it was the wire from the ignition to the alternator one of the small wires iam sorry but i cant remeber what colour it was hope that helps a bit.

 

Small blue wire goes from alternator to back of clocks
