Bob said: (quoted from post at 12:53:35 06/11/10) OK, just saw this post... what lamp are you using... get a #194 slide-base lamp and try that. If you don't have a holder handy you can put it in the circuit with a couple of alligator leads to try it.
Does it "excite" that way?
I am using a Dorman/Motormite/Conduct-tite/Help (they keep changing their name) part number 85938 "panel light." No manufacturer specifications listed but it meaures 30 ohm and fits a 1/2" diameter hole.
parallel wiring a test light does nothing to improve the situation. The test light barely lights (panel light is less ohms). Without a calibrated variable resistor, all I can say is that the alternator will only excite with zero resitance or no load; a full 12+volts. The test light lights normally when not paralleling the panel light.
At any rate this is a good discussion of troubleshooting and a documentary on the early stages of male balding :)
