Fuse box order? (122) -->> No recharging now.... 120-130

Thanks Benwah,

I figured out which fuse was number one now. That's a nice site. I now know a conversion to glass fuses is possible.

I'm now trying to diagnose some problems that occured when I left my 122 sit neglected for a while. My battery recharge system is not working and my windshield wiper is out. My heater motor works though.

I have the conversion kit for translating my car to a 12-v alternator, so my alt is fairly new, but now it seems that the recharge circuit is not recharging the battery. I don't think it is the battery, because I seem to be able to recharge the battery on my trickle charger just fine and it will hold enough juice to start it right up.

I just ran it now though and turned on my headlights for a bit, and just after maybe five minutes I turned it off and could not re-start it...

Originally I thought my turn-signals were out, but those are actually working. My windshield wiper motor is not working however. It even gets slightly warm to the touch, even though the switch is not turned on to either low or high positions.

I'm not sure how to proceed in diagnosing what my recharge problem is? Do alternators get corroded enough to loose charging ability over time left in the elements? I didn't have a recharge problem at all before letting it sit for a long while. I don't know what the "amp" light on the dash is doing, as it's always been rather dim and I usually can't see it in daylight. I'll have to recharge the battery again, re-start it in the dark and see what that light is doing and report back here.

Any help/tips appreciated...
