RE: [Peugeot-L] '86 505 GL electrical short?

Ed,  

Blown tell-tale lamp in the dash is a possibility. The lamp is part of the charging circuit which supplies excitation current and it’s absence prevents the alternator from being “kick-started”. The other way to “start” the alternator is rev the motor to 2 or 3 thousand rpm.      

Good luck

1984 505 STi

1995 306 XT

1998 406 SV

Here's the deal.
rebuilt alternator.
new battery.
If not driven at least every other day, battery goes down. Pull #5 fuse (radio mem, locks,clock etc)and all's OK. Radio removed...didn't help.
Any ideas?

Ed
