HI,

After the SU flood I now have to turn to the electrics!!! So cool ;-) At least the car runs, so...

Ok the thing is when I drive at night & switch either the wipers, the fan, the turn signals, the OD (when the GB is in 4th) I get a very light illlumination of the charging light. When I say "at night" and "very light", I mean it probably does the same at daylight but I can't see it if it's not completely dark outside. Even city lights make it impossible to notice. The car's lights don't seem to be concerned since they won't light the red lamp.

I checked the tension, I get 14+ V at idle even with the charging light on, there is no short-circuit smell in the car (I'd notice, it almost burnt twice...) & the car runs smothely. When the engine is at high RPM, the light tend to get SLIGHTLY brighter. I thought of the fuse box but I have put an aftermarket one after I had several times the 25 amp fuse not getting any power, making the charging light go on & the OD disengaging while on the highway... I am very happy with this new item. I cleaned the connexions (acid spray) when intalling it.

Sooo... I have no clue about all this. HAve you any?

Thanks once again for your appreciated help!
