1hz troopy Dash lights out

Hi Keiran,

I guess the obvious things to check for would be a blown fuse, or a loose wire.

Macca.

Dash warning lights or dash illumination lights?

I had a 80 series with similar problem,turns out to be the plug from the alternator in the engine bay where it joined the loom.

The alternator puts all those lights on if it isnt excited and the ignition is turned on as a test function. If they are all on then either the alternator is nackered or a wiring fault is preventing it from exciting.

OKay, love everyones replies.

So I had a week look yesterday. Finally had a minute. And its the small oval plug into the back of the alternator. one of the wires has severed at the base of the plug. So Im going to have to order a new plug and wire it into the existing loom... I'm going to replace some of the loom as it's pretty knackered from old oil etc... I've already re-wired some of the loom back to the fuel tanks from the starter side and under the batteries.

So, my Wednesday I'll be elbows deep in solder and copper I feels.

If there is anything else I should consider I'd love a heads up.

Try an auto sparky, quite often replacement alternators come with adaptor harnesses and most of us end up with a range of various unused ones.
Just remember as long as those lights are on the alternator is probably not charging or even worse over charging.
In a pinch you can get speaker sized individual crimps that you can use to get out of trouble to buy time if you have no other transport, just put an insulating sleeve over the centre one to prevent any mishaps and disconnect the battery before doing anything.
