G'day, I've just signed up in hope to shed some light on the problem I've got in my hj61 1986 12ht.
I feel like I've read all threads related to charging issues read the workshop manual and done a tonne of Google searches and work on the cruiser with no luck.
I was driving when the dash lights related to the charge lamp relay were thrown up. I noticed the volts had dropped so from my testing I replaced the alternator...charging fine however the dash lights were still up.
I the replaced the voltage regulator, was suppose to be a plug and play although with the new volt regulator the dash lights would not turn on when ignition on only when started so I am assuming this is not wired correctly to suit my plug. Although still charging fine.
From further reading I have since replaced the two fusible links from the battery and checked all earths for continuity.
I do know the battery is on it's way out as when starting it drops below 10v. Would a bad battery cause the dash lights to illuminate although receiving charge?
If you have any info you could drop feel free as I feel as though I've exhausted nearly all avenues and getting to the end of my knowledge and capabilities.
Cheers for any help.
