[DeTomaso] ELECTRICAL QUESTION / Dick Ruzzin

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

Hi Dick,

They will produce so little amps that no harm will come of it. The power it
produces will be used up to power the light. If the light or anything else
in the car did not use the power it would end up back charging the battery.
Not likely. If you use a two "poll" relay you can switch hot and ground on
and off with the relay and you will not see this. A "diode" can also be used
to block the power from back feeding the electrical system.

The amp gauge is most likely a problem on its own. Disconnect the battery,
then open up the dash to tighten up the connections at the amp gauge. Remove
the outside nut, wires and washers. Clean them all up with an emery board
file. Snug the back nut to the gauge then reinstall the wires and nuts. 

I would also do the same for the grounding stud under the dash. Clean and
tight is a good way to be.

Subject: [DeTomaso] ELECTRICAL QUESTION / Dick Ruzzin

I have an electrical question for those who understand how electricity
works.

On the highway my two 25 amp radiator fans turn so fast that the little
amber 
light that says they are working glows at about 50%.

Lately my ammeter has shown an eratic movement, from totally dead at times
to 
acting normal.

My question is, does that current from the radiator fans go into the battery

somehow, or could it have a destructive effect on my alternator? 

Thanks.



All the best,
