<div> <font size="3">A shorted diode in the bridge can cause the ignition light to come on even if the alternator is charging. The diode assembly is replaceable but requires a pretty good soldering iron. If you are not comfortable doing that I recommend replacing the alternator.</font><br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello,<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Just started up my 72 idle since May. Started fine but the ignition <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">light flickered after a few minutes and then the ammeter was alternating <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">from about 3+ amps to 3- amps along with the flicker. Turned on the head <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">lights and no flicker. Drove down to get gas and flicker continued <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">unless I put on the brakes.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Just put it in the garage and after starting, the normal +10 or so on <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">the ammeter then normal.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Is it time for a new alternator or is rebuildable? Delco I believe.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks,<br>
</div>
