Dash lights on and AC switch blinking 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Constantin on  Thu Dec 11 04:48 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi J! Thanks for replying. I was yesterday to see my mechanic (Chan Motors, in Boulder, CO), and they were very honest and told me that my alternator was dead, and the brakes and ABS were OK. They said I could change it my self, if not they had to do the job with a new part, so I was supposed to spend a lot of money for a new alternator and labor. They gave me advice how to do it. After recharging the battery, I was able to drive home, and had fun for about 2 hours, changing the alternator (I had a spare one from an old 760 sleeping in my garage, a totaled car I bought just for parts). I don't have very professional tools, should I have had, the delay might have been probably shorter. Anyway, once the alternator in place, the lights disapeared and now everything is back to normal. It looks like when the alternator is dying, the dash lights start acting crazy! I hope this experience could also serve other BRICKBOARD members in diagnosing these crazy lights. Season Greetings to you and everybody! Sincerely,
Constantin Grigorut (760 Turbo, Boulder, CO)
