Alternator not charging + multiple meltdowns…HELP!!!
Thank you for the replies thus far. I’m using an original 1971 shop manual and following the diagrams. I have bypassed the ballast for the ign run circuit. I currently have the dash apart and untaped the harness to inspect all wires. Some do have bare spots so I’m taping them up as I see them. A very knowledgeable mechanic and restorer told me to inspect the circuit board for the instrument panel for any damage and I found that the bulb for the ammeter got way too hot (bulb furthest to left) . Boiled the plastic lens (also pictured). Could something as minuscule as a bulb cause a short like this?
