Right some of you may no the elecs shorted out the weekend and battery caught fire etcetc...

just managed to fix it tonight with a new battery new accel cable and 3 new earth straps.

earth straps i have put from driverside turret mount bolt to pulley mount bolt.
from passenger side inner wing to a lower bolt on the front of engine
and last one from battery neg to turret bolt on pass side.


all seems ok starts at the turn of the key and all elec working and no smoke :)


BUT.............................


The ignition light stays illuminated after start up???

it dims very slightly on tick over then as soon as you rev slightly it goes back bright ( but litterally very slight change)


just before everything shoted out the weekend the ignition light was flickering on and off i just hope i dont still have a elec fault.


Any ideas???


Sorry for the long post. :)


Its a '83 'A' reg running a isuzu 2.8 TD engine.

Yoshi:
Sounds like the same problem i had with my lights when the alternator went.

simon15:
just a new alternator then?

hopefully anyway.

better then searching through the whole electric system to find a problem.


What happened with yours before it packed up?

Guardian.:
alternator shot!

simon15:
thats ok then :)


sounds a wierd thing to be glad about but thought it would be wiring or its ready to catch fire again.......
