 |
|
Hello everyone who is expert with the Elektirk of the m38 ?
I have installed new cables and a new generator and new regulator (26640473-03 Vap air).
The tank gaug and the pressure gauge are working but the temperature gauge(AC1512422) and the charge gauge(SW 504-G) do not work.
The cables 9 and 8 from the regulator to the battery display go to the correct connections. Cable number 9 has however always voltage even if the ignition is switched off. This can not be. The temperature display is fully off when only the ignition is switched on. I have always grounded everything, the grounding I can exclude as error.
maybe the sender are wrong? From Water temp i bought this item:

Frank,
If you are using a solid state regulator, which by the name you have listed I believe it is, #8 and #9 are rendered useless. They need to be connected together and left up behind the dash. You will need a 5 wire spider harness to connect up a voltmeter instead of the ammeter. The ammeter will not function with solid state regulators because there is no shunt bypass in this type of regulator. A mechanical regulator will be required in order to make the ammeter work.

Good evening Frank!
It's a bit of a minefield just buying parts that say they are for the M38.
There were many changes to parts during production as well as after
they were in service. In many cases replacement parts were a direct
replacement but had different part numbers.
Some were not, however. It is very important that you learn to read
the parts manual Ord 9 G740. It has most original numbers and
replacement parts listed by vehicle dash plate serial number.
It can be fun, but can also drive you crazy!
