I have a '71 Type I in good shape, runs great etc.etc.
But one thing that has concerned me is that the red Generator warning light occasionally 'glows'.
It doesn't come on per se (when compared with the intensity during the light test at ignition) but there is definitely some current there. Its only really noticeable at night - its so faint that in daylight its not noticeable. I had my trusty mechanic check out the generator, and he gave it a clean bill of health.
I noticed that the light sometimes get slightly more intense when I press on the brake pedal, so I'm wondering if its some sort of electrical current bleed through. But from where?
This is an intermittent event - it can be visible for as little as
5-10 seconds, or for most of my 15 minute commute.There is no other apparent problem, and this has been going on for over 6 months, so doesn't appear to be a sign of imminent disaster.
But all comments greatfully received ......
