Dr Terry (I think) has a solution that he's posted up in response - try searching for his posts with keywords like 'relay', and you might find it. Sorry, but I can't rem

Will this protect against surges or higher voltages etc. Or is is best to run a relay that regulates the 12 volts.

This problem of the ignition relay not switching off is caused by slightly leaky diodes in the alternator. The easiest way to test if this is the fault, is to switch off the ignition & then disconnect the brown wire from the rear of the altern

Problem is that best I can discover from reading it is that I do have it wired up the right way but my alternator is faulty...!? I seem to have the 'earth back through the alternator globe' syndr

Thanks Dr Terry - would the diode be an internal jobbie or something I can just stick between the brown wire & the alternator? I think I'm comming around to your suggestion of changing the ign as opposed to using t

On Ign 2 there's a yellow wire that I beleive is the original coil wire - do I bridge yellow & pink to send to the dizzy, or yellow, pink & white? What if I just attach

The white wire is the ballast resistor, it joins to the yellow at the firewall connector. All you need to do is bridge the pink to the yellow, with a short piece of wire. The original yellow wire at the coil will now have 12 volts whether run
