Re: [DML] A new alternator problem! (And a radar detector install to boot)



 John and others, 
Current Ford vehicles (since 1986) are dependent on the in dash bulb to 
charge. Early models had a 500 ohm resister in parallel with the bulb and 
placed in the twist in type bulb holder. if they fell out or made poor 
contact, the alternator couldn't charge. It was the devil to fix if you 
didn't think (or know) to look at the battery symbol on the dash as part of 
diag. What about finding a suitable resistor for the D and soldiering it in 
parallel with the bulb on the printed circuit (like recent Fords)?
