Oh I changed the alternator Seems pretty likely that the battery voltage was going down and the panel regulator couldn't keep regulating at ten volts (it needs something like one and a half volts extra to play with). If the regulator output goes below 9.5 volts the light will flash. So far as I can think, that does not explain the needle being high. Temp sender on the 2.1l is on the forward face of the thermostat housing. The one sticking out the left side is the T-II sender for the ECU. Yours, David |
