Hey guys. Spent a bit of time yesterday removing manifold etc to get rif of the EGR system on my terrano, clean out the inlet manifold etc etc, and also had the instrument cluster surround off.
Had to move it this morning with no manifold etc fitted.
did that. no prob. (had to jump start it, though, as I left the interior light on all night). Had no issue jumping it. done it a million times. no sweat.
put it all back together but now the charge light wont go out. also on is the fuel sedimentor light, and the a/t temp light. I imagine this is because it doesn't sense any charge, however, alternator is producing charge.
Are there any fusible links eetc that mat have blown to cause this?
Had battery unhooked for a bit today. Have checked all the alternator plgus and fuses under the dash.
Bit miffed on this one!
It's a '92, td27t auto.
Terrano electrical issue.

Re: Terrano electrical issue.
IF it was the alternator not being exited you'd have all lights up on the dash.
I say you have disturbed one of the plugs or shared ground for the loom that feeds said senders.

Waiter...there is a drought in my glass.
Re: Terrano electrical issue.
yeah, weird. Running it without manifold (and earth strap that goes from body to manifold) caused it to have a wee meltdown with the earth lead from alternator to body. very odd that it was charging but charge lamp essentially was still lit.
re-ran that and all gravy. very odd!
runs so much nicer/gruntier/cleaner with EGR removed and manifold cleaned out!!
