Oh yes and through the light. The buld was fine but did'nt illuminate so the wiring problem is clealy with that wire. So surly all ive done is cut out the problem?
no
yu have created a problem. the lamp is there to limit the current to the alternator.
yu really have no idea, do you? I suggest yu speak to a vehicle sparky before yu set fire to your vehicle :doh:
change yo usercp to show where yu are.

No I really dont, hence asking on a forum for advice.
If the lamp isnt illuminated while the alternator is running how is it limiting the current?

And what problem have I now created?
lots of info if you want to see how alts work.
you need the bulb or a suitable resistor, they aren't designed for 12v.
doubtful it'll explode into flames, but you could end up killing your alt.. which tbf isn't going to be too happy not having an exciter all this time.
all you really need to do is unscrew the two screws on the dash where the lamps are and see if the bulb is blown.. swap it for another

Ive checked the bulb and connctions and they are fine. To be honest it needs a re wire as its a mess, it has been since I had it.
So a suitable resistor in my link should do the trick?
And I know its not going to burst into flames, people do seem a bit OTT on here but im used to that now!
Yu know nothing. Just connect the power to ignition live and put a 5watt bulb in the line to the Alternator and all will be fine.

If it gets me through this weekend then it kills the alternater then so be it. I have a new lume at the ready for it and its already well overdue.

But you still cant explain what your telling me?
And why would I want to show where I am??
What's complicated about fitting a 5w bulb in the line?
I have no intention if helping yu further. You ask the Q and then ignore advice.
On your own head be it.

go take the lamp bit out of the dash, remove the bulb, stick multi in and check for 12v, etc . it'll be quicker or just leave it. it might work for a bit, might not.. your choice
Also done that and nothing. Im not getting any power to the lamp.
Ill risk it bursting into flames and destroying the world but thanks for your help.

Yeah cause Daft really needs an extra post or two :doh:
Have you ever wondered why a whole bunch of folk that know more than you and were trying to help you say 'NOOOO!'?
Must just be because they're twunts eh
When you fry yer alternator I've got another you can have for a reasonable price
It doesnt work but lets face it, that won't make much difference :doh::doh:

What have I argued against?
People say "NOOOOOOOO" without explaining why? Like I said im not clued up on the subject so I asked for advice. None of this i have argued against I have just asked for people to explain why.
Already have a spare but thanks for that kind offer.
