Alternator lights!!! I'm going crazy
Ok guys I'm doing some work on my vette and put a part the central consolle with the 5 cluster.
Today I have reassembled and everithink work fine but when the car is running the Alternator lights come up.
I have done some trial but it's still on.
In the same time the oil presure gauge go over 80 PSI,I have checked the connection on the switch and it's good,when I stop the engine the oil presure come backin the right place 30 PSI more or less.
The battery is ok I have tryed with and without battery charger connected in the battery but the result it's the same.
The voltmeter gauge show me 12/12.5 Volt and it's ok.
If I disconnect the alternator bulb everithing it's ok if I reconnect it the same think.
I'm just think some wires go to the ground.
This is my only think.
What happen about you?
Thank you Giuseppe

You should have about 13.5 volts with the engine running.

Here I'm again,
mrvette you're right I'm Italian.
This morming I have fight with all cluster,now the situation is better than yesterday,the problem is the connection on the printed circuit,it is'nt to tight I push it and I have heard "click" this is the right position.Now everything works fine,the oil pressure at idle is 35,voltmeter show me 13.5.
The only think is when I put the keys on "on position" the alternator light don't work,maybe the bulb is burned,no drama I can check it by removing the glove box.
I'll check it later
Now I' m going to replace the old Hei distributor with a new one from MSD
Merry Christmas to all forum member !!!
