Re: ALTERNATOR LT ON Sign In
What have you done? Have you tested the charging voltage across the battery?
What is it?

Re: ALTERNATOR LT ON Sign In
If you got those readings with the engine running, then the alternator is not charging. I can't remember if that year had an external or internal voltage regulator. If it's iinternal, then change the alternator. If it's external, then you will have to full field the regulator and test it again.

Re: ALTERNATOR LT ON Sign In
Hammer; That would be an internal regulator. Didn't those years have a diode, up under the dash, that would go bad? Maybe, it was a relay....can't remember. O.F. disease.Unsure

Re: ALTERNATOR LT ON Sign In
Nothing I'm aware of. The diode is internal to the alternator as far as I know.
