As you have a 66 you have the 5 dial cluster with a gauge not a lamp. the gauge must be functioning in order to send signal to regulator to turn on alternator full field effect to start charging |

I have a 66 and didn't think of that... maybe it's time to start working on the car Last monday I tore apart the brake master and got the brakes to sort of kind of work. At least the pedal stopped going to the floor.... now I just need to get the engine to run... Jan |

I have two Mustangs that both indicate zero charge/discharge yet both charging circuits are working well!! Both have had their harnesses replaced. In order to cause deflection of the charge/discharge meter there must be approx .1 ohm resistance in the jumper from the alternator to the battery which acts as a meter shunt. The replacement harnesses do not have the built-in resistance so consequently no meter deflection even though the charge system is working fine!! KenG |
