Lookout Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Triumph mk2 1971 auto 2000 Driving back after asking garage to fix indicators ,notice the volt meter reading very low and with head lambs on indicators now flashing very slow ,what could this be ,could the garage have short circuit something ,or is it case of alternator going ,battery full charge as starts no problem headlamps on full beam car starts ok. Update the voltage meter on dash board reading 14volts then when the lights comes on goes down to 11volts ,took earth of battery whilst running ,did not stop engine, Edited June 17, 2022 by Lookout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The garage may have unplugged the alternator and forgotten to reconnect it, or they may have done something utterly stupid. Did they tell you what they did to "fix the indicators"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
