General Buick Tech / Re: DIY bypass the charge lamp

 Thanks for that info. I am aware of the Caspers harness, but I work in the gas fireplace industry and with the unseasonably warm winter we've had, I must mind my pennies until my summer gig starts. At almost $60 shipped, I'd like to make my own if I can.

 I thought it was as simple as running a wire from the "i" terminal on the alternator to a switched 12v source like the waste gate solenoid?

General Buick Tech / DIY bypass the charge lamp

« on: February 18 2017, 02:02:31 PM »

 I am looking for a way to bypass the unreliable charge lamp circuit that is preventing charging on my 1987 Grand National.  I know that there is a way to excite the field using a wire from the waste gate solenoid, but have not found a definitive guide to doing it.

 Any tips would be appreciated.
