VOLTAGE REGULATOR ISSUE...



Starting from last week these lights keep blinking.. They light up dimly, not so bright. If you did not really see them, you may not notice them. Upon rev up, those lights will slowly goes off. The lights are;

Then last night, I notice from car charging condition LEDs that I installed to 12V cigarette socket show no charging activity. Those LEDs was very useful since this model doesn't equipped with in-dash voltmeter. The car survived the journey, accesories started to dim off and wiper motor slowed down remarkably. Upon parking, the car dies, cannot restart again. To my wonder, with 10V showed on multimeter this morning, I managed to get it started. Drive to the nearest auto electrical shop and diagnosed with faulty voltage regulator. Changed it and there it is, the battery got charged again!!

Cool! My 91 240 indicator lights have been flickering, and according to my LTM (long-term mechanic), we should be able to "Pull the oil filter, unplug the wires, unscrew the 2 screws that hold the VR to the alternator & then reinstall it & the oil filter"

I'm the sort of guy who loves to seek innovative stuff. Presently I am fabricating my own photovoltaic panels. I am doing it all alone without the help of my staff. I'm utilizing the internet as the only way to acheive that. I encountered a really amazing website that explains how to create pv panels and so on. The internet site explains all the steps required to pv panel building.

I'm not sure about how correct the information given there is. If some experts over here who have xp with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the page it would be great and I would highly appreciate it, because I really lav solar panel construction.

Tnx for reading this. You people rock.
