Title: tachometer doesn't move and battery warning light on
Post by: dan3411 on July 27, 2008, 02:17:31

possible loose connection? is it a cable feed or electronic?
nothing in particular triggered it just driving on town road looked down and noticed
the battery warning on and tachometer not moving.

it is either the alternator knackered most likly the brush pack has collapsed or seized in and worn the brushes so they dont make contact (usually due to lots of mud), your alternator belt broken, or a loose connection to the back of the alternator
