I have just rewired my Dexta but I can't seem to get the charging light to come on. The oil pressure light is fine. It isn't a bulb issue I've swapped them over. I have an alternator fitted. It must be something simple but after a lot of hours looking and trying i am stuck. Any ideas?

Regards

silly question but is it charging
can u test it with a volt meter ?
mine will flicker on at low revs , then go out wen I rev up .

hope this helps tom

just re read oopps thought it was stuck on .
still test for power with the meter .

Everything is so simple I am beginning to suspect the alternator, it is well over 10 years old, how can I test it? Will the light not come on if the alternator is u/s?
