Re: Restoration of Pearl 94 LSI - Electrical issues
.
Harvey,
Leaving all the recent electrical diagnosis out of this, I want to return to the very first post by svxcuseme
He said that using that the alternator in his daily-driver SVX, the dash lights do not illuminate and has a reading of ~14.5V at the battery, which indicates a properly-functioning alternator.
However, this same alternator produces ~15.5V at the battery on the 94 SVX and the dash lights on.
The only two differences between these two cars are the actual external wiring itself and the unplugged electrical connection at the steering rack on the 94, because it was the incorrect part
As I stated earlier, it is easy to eliminate one of these possibilities by installing the alternator back on the daily driver and unplugging the steering rack connection to try and duplicate the symptoms. If all is well, that only leaves the wiring to be suspect.
I believe there is now enough information posted to provide a complete picture.
I have said my piece as well.
