Charge light?
My "charge" light doesn't come on, I checked the bulb and checked the diode on the instrument light circuit board (w/o removing the printed circuit) and all is OK. I know the alternator is working by the simple test, start car, turn on headlights, rev up engine. When the engine revs up the lights go brighter. Any ideas? |

Charge light?
NA or NB Miata?
The NB's have regulator circuitry built into the instrument cluster. If you have an NB, and the alternator and wiring is OK, the instrument cluster circuit board assembly is suspect.

I'll bet the circuit board is cheap by comparison! :-( Actually the regulator is part of the PCM, which might cost more than your dental work. |

You can get an aftermarket Link one for less than $2,000 and it will allow you to squeeze out some more power too.

What's a crown cost? I think you got the wrong part price, there ain't one of those in a 1992 so the price would be $0.00. The crown cost more. |
