OK, I read this Thread end to end, and reread parts of it.
I've seen several references to the warning lights going "Christmas tree", and the implication is either a low battery or a problem alternator?
Its not clear to me.
My warning lights will flash on occasion, and sometimes stay on for a bit, then go off. Sometimes it will stay on longer and sometimes revving the engine will make them go off but its not consistent.
So can someone explain what the flashing lights really mean? its clearly intermittent and I was assuming I had a short of possibly a dying ECU box somewhere, or dirty connections or ground on that unit.
Then I saw the first "Christmas Tree" mention of an alternator issue, and here I am.
I've only had this project for less than 2 weeks, and part of the evolution is to make sure its reliable after 32 years of abuse by hack mechanics. So far its not as bad as my 87 Samurai that a guy took apart and painted, then half assed reassembled it.. (oh the stories.. and the many ty-wraps...) I have THAT one as reliable is its going to get. This van needs to get the same treatment...
So the ask is, what is the deal with flashing Warning indicators?
