Morning all
Ok so here is one for the group, my engine now runs and I will be updating the build log been far too long, bit I have no alternator charge, all wiring looks ok so did some digging and it seems the alternator needs the warning light to energise up the coils until the alt takes over, simples with an incandescent bulb BUT I have LED lights and I have seen a few places stating they will not work.
Thoughts? Is this similar to the turn lights when LED causes the flasher relay to go ape shit as there is deemed to be not enough load.
Would a load resister resolve? Or perhaps an standard bulb in parallel to the LED concealed behind the dash?
Cheers
