Hello All:

1967 Volvo 122S wagon. Over Labor Day weekend we were staying at a friend's house upstate. "Virginia" drove great as always - fantastic highway car.

There was a lot of rain that weekend and when we tried to drive away on midday Monday, she could not quite make it up the very steep driveway. The 'AMP' light was on the whole time, and it seemed like she was running on two cylinders' worth of power. After several attempts, the 'AMP' light suddenly went off, we took off up the driveway, and drove the hour and forty-five minutes home without incident.

Later that night, when driving the car again the 'AMP' light came on again, and it has been on ever since but without the loss of power I described earlier. The car is running perfectly except for the lamp being on.

To be safe, I went under the hood, broke every electrical connection, added a small smear of dialetric grease to all of the connectors, remade all of the connections, and replaced the plugs, wires and points for good measure. 'AMP' light still comes on.

Any suggestions for diagnostic tests? This car has a generator and I changed the brushes about six years (15,000 miles)/ ago.

Thanks in advance, gang.

Cheers,

Pooch
