Car: 1990 80 2.0 L
Problem: Lost instrument lights
Checked battery – 12.65 V
Checked fuse – OK
Pulled instr. panel
Checked rheostat, registered 0.0-20.5 ohms looks good to me.
Checked Voltage regulator, leads 1 – 2(Gnd), 11.75 V, should be battery voltage (12.65 V). I wonder why this reading is low.
Checked VR output , leads 3 –2 (Gnd), 10.00 V should be 9.50 – 10.50 V
I am going to start tracing the wiring.
Any ideas?
Aloha.
