[6pack] "IGN" light

[Navarrette, Vance]

 	Jim:

	I find it charming. Like calling the trunk the "boot" or the
hood the "bonnet" or the soft top the "hood".

	While it makes SOME sense (the ignition circuit is drawing
current from the battery when it should not) I feel that the Yankee term
"ALT" for alternator is quite a bit clearer, as it is an alternator
fault that is preventing the battery from charging as it should. I don't
know what the standard is in the rest of the English speaking world (any
Canooks, Kiwis or Aussies out there?)

	I only wish the TR6 user's guide came with a translation guide
or phrase book. And Bentley gets hard to read sometimes too (whine,
whine, whine). All of this pales in comparison to understanding women,
however. So I should not be complaining - even though my wife came
*without* a user's guide. Yes, I suppose I should be grateful for the
limited accommodations made by the TR6 factory for us "non-English"
English speakers.

	Vance

Ed,

I guess I don't really see the "ignition" part of the equation.  Doesn't
this
light go on if there is a voltage imbalance between the alternator and
the
battery?  Maybe I am missing something. . .

Thanks for the response.
