Re: Faint Alternator Light Glow 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Don Foster on  Thu Nov 9 15:00 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Faint glow usually means the alternator has marginal output. I'd first check the fuse clips for corrosion, oxidation, and tightness.

Then I'd check the alternator brushes. On an '84 they're probably worn to a nub.

Finally, I'd confirm that all the alternator connections, including the ground, were solid and tight.

Also be sure the belts are tight......
