BJ74 Turbo Light ---13BT

landcrusher80 · 04-20-08, 07:53 AM

Folks,

I had to pull the alternator and have it rebuilt the other day.

After reinstalling the rebuilt alternator the green turbo light will no longer light up.
Additionally the orange light next to the turbo light stays lit all the time.

Any suggestions on a fix?

Cheers,

when you diconnected the alternator for repair, do you think you may have forgotten a vaccum line?
Your turbo is boosting right?

Sounds to me like something got disconected. What you are experiencing (red LED all the time, no green) is what you get when the LEDs are getting power via the Instrument cluster but are not connected to the boost switches. So double check the plugs on the Boost switches and check that the switch is grounded properly.
