[Mk2] [NA] Dash light problem after changing some engine gaskets please help

Post by mattp »

My mate has a MK2 91 3s-ge. Been helping him put it back together this afternoon and had the following problem.

Dash lights do not come on as usual after one click of the key before startup. Engine starts fine but then the ignition lights come on and stay on? Lights visible while running are the oil light, battery light and engine cooling light. Brand new battery installed too.

The gaskets on the throttle body and cam cover have been replaced, so these parts as well as the air cleaner box have been removed, hence helping put it back together again but cant think why this would effect the ignition lights....any thoughts?

Sounds to me like your alternator has died.

Refurb or used part time.
