Hi all, nearly sorted the electrics on my Melos which has the MK1 Escort 6 clock dash,, all to do know is the Fuel and water temp gauge, i have checked the volts in and out, in as should be 12v but out put is varying fats from 0.5 to near 8 volts, never the 10 as what i think it should be, of have been told.
The fuel gauge doesnt move but the temp does just above the cold mark though.
So i ha e been lookig for the same replacement V Reg, no luck as yet but i came across this
Thanks for that mate, seems easy enough, i will pop over to Maplin in new year and see if i can get the Volt reg and resistors from there. A while since i messed like this with electrics.
all best mate
Would you believe i have just been in the shed and found some 2200ohm resistors, all i need know is the 314ohm resistor, well as near as i can find, which is 300ohm which is as close to the error output of 7 i can find.
