hi everyone I have only got a little over 9v at he voltage stabilizer so my oil light etc wont work. My battery has 12.5v I am assuming its a bad earth does anyone know where the earth point for that particular circuit is? any other help will be appreciated. |

The oil light does not run through the voltage stabilisor. The voltage stabilisor is on the feed to the gauges. The gauges need a lower voltage without dips and peaks. The voltage into the voltage stabilisor is straight from the battery so is ~12.5 to 14 v and the voltage out of the voltage stabilisor is about 9v. (or I could be totally wrong) |

10 volts is what is supposed to come out of the stabilizer but I have less than that going into the stabilizer(should be 12 volts) |

I havent had a chance to prove my alternator yet because I havent had the car on the road yet. All the other electrics work just those within the dash... but there is power...just not enough.. I have done a search and some reading but am still miffed... |

ok, I found a blown fuse so I now have an alternator light that comes on and goes off once the engine starts. I still have no oil light , I put my multimeter on oil sender and there was 12 volts there. I tested the back of the dash panel and there was no power at the oil light. The temp gauge wont work still, I tested the brass screws behind the temp gauge in the dash and there was no power there either. I tested the three prongs on the stabilizer and the had, 12 v 10v earth so theres nothing wrong there. I joined the rear loom earth to the neg side of the battery in case it was a bad earth problem but to no avail. I also fiddled with the earth in the engine bay. Does the alternator light use the same power source as the temp and oil gauges? cheers |

It turned out to be An earth problem A broken 10v feed wire A blown fuse Possibly but less likely a broken voltage stabilizer God I hate my mini some days |
