Thought I should check in with the updates. We had a friend in my Volkswagen club killed on the side of the interstate, next to his broken down Beetle. Needless to say, my attention has been...

It's official, alternator is shot. Who'da thought?

Hopefully I will get to yank it Saturday and take it to the autoparts store for a bench test. Ron, I appreciate all of your help. Hopefully, I'll get to meet you in person someday.

Yes, very strange that I can't reproduce the symptom that started this thread. Now I am more concerned about the battery light growing increasingly brighter with the rpms increasing. It's like the...

After reading this thread: http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?4366-Trouble-with-the-battery-light&highlight=battery+light+bright. I've decided I probably need to take the alternator off and take it to...

Yes, I remember that the RPM needle is balanced to 2-3 or something, but my point was it reminded me to check the RPM relay. (I have a Hervey relay in there, it's about 7-8 years old FWIW). I removed...

Ok, so alternator checked out fine. I noticed though that my tach was reading 2k when the car was off. That reminded me of when I had to replace the rpm relay. So I took it out, tested continuity...

Ron, I just read your post after my insane raving on. You are right, test light to the light terminal. That ought to answer that hypothesis pretty quickly.

Well, Step 1 - Old Battery was bad. This didn't fix the issue, but it's one thing out of the way.

Here's a question, so the fuse 5 is powered by the white wire running from the Auxiliary relay....

Noted. I wish I weren't in the office today so that I could look at the actual beast.

Thanks, for the input. Here I thought I was going to be doing a suspension upgrade this weekend.

I've had the car since 95, so while not totally out of the question, I'd be surprised if there were a hack I didn't already know about. I agree though that there is something providing power...

Alright, David T, I shall give that a go tonight. That would be really simple, but I have always been under the impression that the main relay hardly ever gives up the ghost (I guess it's 32 years...

Alright, this is a new one for me. My battery drained down after a few weeks of no use. Well, after charging it on a battery charger I reconnected the battery. I walked away and came back to notice...

Thread goes here now - http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?7906-Sept-7th-East-TN-tech-session

First off, I apologize for hitting everyone with 9 billion East TN posts but I wanted to pass this along in case anyone in the area wanted to attend. Harper Auto (our local Audi, Jaguar, Porsche,...

Auto

Not something we need to do necessarily on that date, but something that is weighing heavily on my mind. I REALLY need to change my trailing arm bolts. I've never done it and might like some...

This guy is still interested as is Ty. I believe that Sept. 7 will work for me as well.

Oh dear god no! Actually, that would be pretty funny to see. I'm glad you got some of that on film.

Travis! Very good to see you on here. It's like a reunion. Yes, you are correct. We drove the...

OK, now we are talking! Starting to sound more like the fun we used to have back in the Posey days.

Wait, I had forgotten that you (Biker) were Kyle. Haha! We met at Sean Howley's house years ago for some sort of barbeque. I gotta second 02378, beer and docks go well together.

Biker, my VW dude isn't a pro VW mechanic, just a shadetree with a really nice garage. I picked him because he will let us use his lift, etc. I've done the boot a few times as well, nothing to it....

Yeah, absolutely nothing is set in stone. We could do this in September or later in August. Really, just getting together some relatively local DeLorean folks would be cool, so we will do it whenever...
