Ignition feed fault

Postby Martin » Fri Aug 07, 2020 6:58 pm

Can anyone help please. Turn on ignition no light or gauges working. Start engine and rev and gauges work but ignition light dim . Turn on either indicator or wipers or brake lights and gauges stop working and ignition light comes on bright.

It sounds likely that there is a charging circuit fault. That could range from a faulty alternator or regulator to dirty or broken connections.
