Battery light flashing in accessory mode
The light is flashing again, but this time it’s happening before the engine is started. It flashes as soon as the ignition is switched to accessory and continues to flash while driving. Previously, with worn brushes, it only flashed if revs were low and even then flashing was intermittent. Now flashing is consistent from the time the ignition is switched to accessories. I’ve checked battery terminals, wiring/cables in the back of the alternator and the charging point on the firewall. All are ok. Any other ideas? |

That charging/battery warning light works with voltage comparator. The light gets battery voltage from fuse F1 to instrument cluster. On the other side is the line from alternator voltage regulator. When the voltage coming from the battery is higher that the line coming from the alternator, the warning light illuminates. For test purposes disconnect the small plug from alternator so you see if it's a cluster or voltage regulator problem.
