One more throw of the dice tomorrow, then its going to an auto elec. Thanks for all the help, I do appreciate it.

Ok, have been studying and it seems that: One terminal should go to earth - check One terminal should come from the battery 12v - check One terminal should be from the IGN - check One terminal is the feed to the battery - check. I wonder if I have a loose connection on the ign wire and that is...

If anyone on this site could do me the biggest favour and take the plug from their working alternator and tell me what voltage values they get on each socket on the plug, I would be most grateful!!

Ok, just did the continuity test and I have from the yellow arrow connector to right side of the bulb 0.02 ohms from the same point to the left side of the bulb is about 9 ohms Also I am now getting 12v switched from the ignition on this connector. So it now has on this one connector 12v...

Hi, It is the 2.7TDi. Have checked the fuse and all is good in that respect. It has the following: Earth, down to chassis Big mutha of a red cable, this literally bolts on and I assume is the main charge path back to the battery. I then have the connector pictured which plugs in to the...

It is indeed an auto, and yes I am using a multimeter. I have just checked and get this: Red arrow has +12v all the time, ign or not Yellow arrow doesn't show a voltage at all, ign or not. Now, when I had the lamp on I had it connected to the yellow arrows terminal on the alternator.

It is indeed an auto.

I see where you are going, but what is causing the second voltage on the panel? Even with alternator disconnected - excitation wise - I still get those 2 identical voltages either side of the bulb connector. Thoroughly confused right now

Ok connected said bulb, +12v from battery one side and excitation terminal the other IGN Off = bulb lit Ign on = bulb lit Eng on (battery is pretty flat) = Bulb on BUT voltage across battery raises to 13.5v

OK, positive from battery to one side of bulb, excitation terminal to the other IGN off - bulb is lit. Disconnecting the bulb connector from the alternator still left me with 11V both sides on the console!

Thank you again, another day spent on the terrano then..............

West lancs auto elecs, maybe I have a lemon!

It gets even more interesting, upon taking bulb holder out measured the voltage across both sides of the track, i.e either side of the bulb connector, with IGN on engine off. Get +11V on both sides! Now feel free to correct me, but in order for the bulb to light, one side needs to be at 0V...

Well, the bulb and holder work fine, BUT not in the battery position. I will explain.....take the bulb oout of this position and swap it into the side lights/dash illumination position and works no problem, put it back in the battery slot and it doesnt work!! I have the horrible feeling that...

Hey if you want to have a quick look its on page 24. http://bebrs.pie-dabas.net/Webs/Terrano/R20/sc.pdf

Ok, i take it the excitation terminal is the one I identified in the pic? Is has two pins which should i connect to? Many thanks

OK established that the battery light should be next to the door open indicator. Guess I'll be having the dash out again then. I take it, its one of the soldered jobbies, if so where do I get a replacement?

Cheers for the help so far bud

Rustic, Bear with me there is more, just uploading pics I take it this is the connector to the said bulb: Also where should the light be on my dash, because I shine a torch at it and cant see where it could be!!

take it that is the red battery jobbie. Guess what.................no light even with engine off ign on! I will become a priest at this rate, patience levels increasing..ha ha Prays that it is the fuse
