FubarI33t Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 so #4 or #6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopick Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I don't think it's in there. The bulb check is for the dash warning display (head / tail / brake lights), and the inhibitor relay is for the auto transmission (no start in gear). The relay might be on the passenger side rocker / kick panel. I've personally never looked for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Which year is S130 is this on? EDIT: See post below explaining the circuit involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 According to the schematics I have, the only relay attached to the blue lead IS the "Bulb Check Relay"...however, the charge indicator lamp seems to connect to that same blue lead, both on turbo and non-turbo cars. There shouldn't be a relay or check relay on the charge indicator lamp as it should come on when the key is on and the alternator is NOT working, as in the engine NOT running, and go off when the alternator starts charging. The switching of the charge lamp to off is accomplished by the current being turned off by energizing the bulb check relay when the alternator starts charging. See the diagram at EL-88 in the 82 FSM, below. Therefore, to answer the question above regarding which relay is involved with this circuit, it would be #4, the Bulb Check relay in the diagram of the post above.

FubarI33t Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thank you. mystory solved. that lil red light refuses to go off. even with installing a new alt. and the battary is reciving no charge. i've tried two used alt and 1 new one. same results for all three. checked all fuses, and wireing. so i am rewireing the charging system from ground up. and making some changes.

FubarI33t Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 I am geting coninutiy on in input side and output side on that relay socket(with out the relay in). and there are two blu wires in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 According to the diagram above there should only be 4 wires on that relay socket...a Black, a Blue, a LtGreen/Red, and a Yellow/Red. If there are 2 blue ones, they should be on the same terminal and would make that a junction where one blue goes to the alternator and the other one goes to the wiring harness connector that feeds the interior harness for the charge indicator lamp. Do both blue wires hook to the same terminal of the relay block? OK, let's go back to the problem. If the battery is NOT getting charged by the alternator, the charge indicator SHOULD be on...indicating either a bad alternator, a bad fusible link, a bad Ignition relay or a bad wire from the fusible link to the battery. Refer to the FSM on pages EL-18 (non-turbo) or EL-19 (turbo) for the charging circuit diagram. Refer to page EL-20 for the charging system troubleshooting procedure.

FubarI33t Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 ok. Brand new alternator. brand new wireing. brand new fuses AND fuse panel. All wireing checks out for propper connection. Continuity checks to make sure theres no breaks in the lines. WHY am i not geting any charge. Connected pos to batt output on alt, and ground. dissconnected fuse from alt to batt(so i get just alt reading) and it reads 0 off the alt. i had them test the new alt before i took it home. tested 14.8 at 60amps. so what gives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FubarI33t Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Ok. I took jumper cables. with car running. Grund on alt to ground on batt. nothin. while ground hooked up. did same for pos. pos on alt to pos on alt. nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FubarI33t Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Fixed. 14.8volts though out the system. the Buld Check relay went out. so that wire got no power to creat the field inside the alt to produce power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopick Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 So where is the "check relay" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
