Ok so now I'm about to throw in the towel and take her down to the shop to drop some cash for a diagnosis.
'66 IIa 2.25 petrol RHD positive earth
issue:
charge light is on
amps in the negative
what i've done:
new interstate battery (exact specification to the truck)
new voltage regulator (identical to OG lucas)
totally rebuilt OG lucas generator (tested good)
polarized gen to pos earth (negative batt terminal to field contact on gen)
polarized reg to pos earth (A1 and F terminals)
belt properly tensioned
checked wires from gen to regulator (no issues)
checked behind dash, rear of gauges- both ammeter and charge light wiring (cannot locate issue)
while engine at idle (1000rpm), ammeter reading below 0, charge light is on, battery is putting out between 12.5 to 13.5 volts. all electronics work.
has no one experienced this type of issue before?
i'm frustrated and stumped...
