I have tried searching the forum for the answer, but no luck so far.
I have a 1972 2000SC with an 11AC alternator. When I start the car the charge warning light on the dash stays on until I reach about 30 mph in top, it then goes out and as soon as I start to slow down it comes back on. If I rev it there is the same result.
I know that this car has the remote voltage regulator. I have tried cleaning the terminals on it and the 11AC, no change.
Two questions 1: does anyone have an idea what the problem might be ? and 2: If the 11AC is faulty is it possible and advisable to change it for another type?
I must confess that my understanding of electrics is basic, so please try not to be too technical !!!
Cheers
Bob
