No Ignition Dash lights
I found this thread very helpful so I am adding some more information here in case anyone else comes across a variation of the problem I just encountered.
My problem was NO ignition lights but the engine would start and run and the alternator was charging correctly.
When the key was turned to the IGNITION position the Heater coil, gear lever position lights etc. were all working fine. However the following Timing Belt, A/T Temperature, Water in Filter and Battery Charging lights did not come on
.
When I cranked the engine these lights all came on momentarily until the engine started. I pulled the IGNITION fuse so the engine would not start and cranked the engine and found as long as the engine was cranking the lights stayed alight, apart from the Battery Charge light of course...
I spent most of this morning pouring over the wiring diagram, testing various fuses, connections etc. but I could find no fault and could not even work out what could cause this scenario to occur. Then I finally realised that my missing lights were the same lights that can flash with earth problems or a dodgy alternator plug connection.
So in desperation pulled the plug off the alternator (mine is the old style circular plug) crimped the connectors, sprayed them with WD40 and plugged it back in. All lights are now working perfectly. They come on when they should and no distracting flashing either
