Electrical glitch, need advice
The car is a 1990 Turbo-II (just purchased)
I just de-greased the engine 4 days ago, and last night my girlfriend left the door ajar so the battery died....... This morning I push started the car to kick the engine over and charge the battery.......now that the battery is charged I noticed that the voltage gauge stays at 12v even under heavy rev. I am worried that it isnt charging even though it is starting as normal now and came back to life. I also noticed that now the Warning lights in the center dash are all lit....all of them. My questions are; Is this likely to be a fuse? If a fuse goes bad can it cause all of these issues, or should I be looking for a short in the wires? Is it likely that this is 2 problems and its a coincedence that they appeared at the same time? I am still digging in my garage for the fuse-tester, but I would love any advice in the meen-time that could shorten the search of the problem. |

Charge the battery before you replace the alternator, it puts too much stress on it. Thats probably what killed your old one.
