Alternator warning light....
Discussion
OK, I think I need to connect a lead to the D+ connection on the alternator to a bulb (or probably just a small resistor) through to a switched live which will be on when the master switch is on. I don't think a small LED on the dash will draw enough current.
Is this correct? Is it sufficient?
What causes this to go out once the alternator has started producing power? Should I fit a diode to make the current only flow to the alternator from the battery and not from the alternator?
