Re: amp light woes 120-130 66

Bob;

The symptoms sound like an open fuse No1 (possibly corroded and not immediately obvious as blown open, but anything in line open such as corroded crimps would certainly also exhibit then same symtoms - but by jumping it and seeing no change, you've eliminated that) AND also a failed generator (see also additional info under Electrical System service notes on SwEm site).

Remember, you AMP light lights when it sees a difference in voltage between the battery positive terminal (by way of the ignition switch and fuse 1) and the generator output terminal.

Your charging sys may have failed since it was declared OK a while ago.

I'd be very interested in the cause when you finally find it...please let us know.

Good Hunting!
