After installing the tachymetric relay that I got, used, from a friend
near my house I tested the car and it worked fine. I arrived home with
a feeling of satisfaction and buttoned up the under-the-steering-wheel
plastic. Everything seemed to check out and I was all set to set out
to Los Gatos (60 miles from my home) where I work on Fridays as a
guitarist.
Just before loading up my car I started it one more time and noticed
that the battery light did not illuminate when I put the key in the
"on" position. I thought that the small wire to the alternator might
have disconnected. I checked it and it was fine as were the other two
wires and the wire to the plastic (maybe a resistor of some kind) on
the opposite side of the alternator.
I tested the voltage across the battery and got 12.5, with or without
acceleration. I got the same stat from the terminal at the rear of the
alternator.
My questions with regard to this latest curve thrown my way are:
- What might have disconnected that is accounting for the system
not charging? and,
- In the past when the system isn't charging the battery light
would flicker. How come there is no battery light illuminating in the
instrument cluster?
- Might I have undid something when I installed the relay and the
plastic under the steering wheel?
Thanks and sorry for the onslaught of mysteries,
Ken
