The alternator in my 93 240 wagon recently stopped charging (Alternator is 1 year old). My battery is holding a charge when not in use and the car runs fine as long as I keep the battery charged.

I noticed the charge warning light wasn't coming on when the ignition in the on position so I replaced the charge warning light bulb. The charge warning light is still not working.

My Bentley manual indicates that the warning light must come on when the ignition is switched on or the system will not charge so this is the problem but I am not sure why it isn't lighting up.

There is apparently a problem with the circuit between the battery and the instrument cluster or in the instrument cluster itself. Any suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting? What is the color of the wire that feeds this circuit into the instrument cluster?

Thanks for your help!

Dave
