Sorry, I think I was in a hurry when i posted this and forgot english.Still cant spell though.Dont have spell check to cover my tracks either. The 2 dash lights that come on when the engine is started,dont anymore.The alt and 02 lights. Never thought this would happen to me.I installed a auxillery battery, and this started. Tim Demarest says that it may be the alt wire being on the wrong blade at the rear of the alt.My alt has only one blade.Cant go wrong there.He gave me some specs to look for.12V at the alt with the engine running. I get 14.02. 5.72 with the meter between the blue wire and ground,the engine off , key on. 0 V with the key off. The aux battery has 13.07 showing. This is right after turning the engine off.It may bleed down a few tenths of a volt after a few minutes.I figure that I am overcharging the batteries.Never checked the main battery(pain in the rear to take that cover off, but I will).I will also check the cells for water being boiled out.Voltage regulator?I am suspecting the 2 resisters and the diode in the insturment cluster to be fried.The Bentley shows these features in the wiring diagrams for a 85.What do ya think.
