does anyone know if the idiot light for the alternator is burned out will it quit charging altogether?

Hy 6tvette, the no charge indicator bulb being burnt out won't effect the alternator, but you will have no inication if it actually develops a no charge situation, other than slow turn signals, dim headlights, and possibly a dead battery the next morning.

I believe it will. Some systems use the light circuit to power the signal to the regulator. Espesially changeover systems.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
