Went camping this weekend in my 85 245 and on the way out the alternator light started glowing weakly and eventually went to a strong bright glow. The tach, fuel and water temp gauges all stopped working as well as the turn signals.

The clock headlights and brake lights worked fine.

I checked for wiring or fuse problems and found nothing.

Came home today and all is well, no alt light, instruments and turn signals worked fine.

I will check voltages today but I think it is charging at the moment.

I have replaced the alt and oil pressure wires from the grey connector.

Any ideas? Perhaps a failing voltage regulator?

Thanks
Dan
