Alternator IS Charging, Captain!! 700 1989

A Huge Thank You to all those replying to my recent posts regarding my 765T alternator / battery / charging "challenges".

The alternator did test bad and after replacing it, the battery was not being charged. I traced wires, etc and it turns out that the flexible circuit board was the culprit. After accessing the FAQ's, I removed the instrument cluster to check the bulbs - all were OK.

While the cluster was out, I put new solder on all the "dots" and put the cluster back in - all the dash lights went on when the key was in the #2 position, just like they're supposed to.

Thanks to all....

Stormie
