TomoHawk Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 1978 280Z w/ factory A/C(I think) I removed the two pipes going from the condenser (inside the car) to the cooling thing by the radiator, including the dryer, and the one going from the dash to the pump. Now, I'm not getting a charge from the alternator, and the 'discharge' light is always on. I checked the wires going to the alternator, and it looks ok there, although my Haynes book has different colored wires, or picture is hard to see. Also looked for any broken wires and didn't see any. If it helps, the voltmeter needle used to jump to 14 when the engine runs, now it only reads battery voltage. Is there an attack plan I should try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted August 1, 2002 Author Share Posted August 1, 2002 Update.... I think the problem has resolved itself. I was using foamy emgine cleaner before the alternator stopped working. After 1 or 2 hot days, It seems to have recitified itself. Or, maybe while I was fumbling around all the wires & hoses, I "un-broke it."
