This usually indicates the brushes in the alternator are worn out. It is
also possible the bearings are worn or there could be a wiring problem. Go
for the brushes first.

Subject: Alternator and oxy lights blink

Hello all: David I hope you are feeling much better. My little problem is
that my alternator and oxy lights flash faintly over 2600 rmps the voltage
is good at
14.25 volts. The van does not miss or run rough. I am driving a 1984 inline
4 .I added a ground wire to the alternator but it lights still can be seen
dimly Maybe I am asking to much of a 28 year old van? We just got back from
a 700 mile trip to the south coast and everything else was fine. Has anybody
experienced this? Thanks for your time.
Bill Witz still happy with my Tiico
