80LS1T Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Sorry I had to post this here but no one would answer in the General Help Section!!! Ok, I have an 1980 280ZX with the original engine still in it. About 2 days ago i left my interior lights on. So put it on the charge for about 24 hours so that I wouldnt burn up my alternator. Well I get it to go somewhere and something just doesnt look right. When ever I would step on the gas the fuel and emergency brake light would come on and the charge light was staying on. Then once I let off the gas the fuel and brake lights would go off but the charge light would stay on. I also noticed that when I step on the gas the charge needle goes from 14V to about 16V, is that normal? The clock in my 3 gauge cluster is also not working (well its not lite up anyway, non of those clocks work in any Z car! ) So what I am thinking is, it must be the alternator? I am not sure so can someone please help me??? Thanks guys and gals , Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
