Over Voltage Light

[merrja]

Hi All,

Anyone have issues with the over voltage light coming on more and more frequently?  It resets if I pull and reset the field breaker.    Thanks! Jim

Verify it’s not an annunciation error first.

I'm not sure how your 68 F is electrically configured, but the over-voltage light on my '74 C came on a couple of times after engine start.  I reset it by turning the master off, then back on.  Because I was sure that my voltage regulator was going bad, I bought a voltage regulator and put in in my baggage compartment....just in case.  It's still there.  Apparently the new regulator scared the installed voltage regulator into behaving.  I wasn't able to determine any cause, or cure. 

Good luck.  Electrical gremlins can be fickle.

I had an over voltage light coming on intermittently. After replacing the zeftronics (and not fixing the problem) we found it was a frayed field wire on the alternator.

I just had this problem. 

I tried everything. Contacts on master, new brushes, inspected and tightened field wires. I was too cheap to buy a new regulator. Nothing fixed it until I bought a new regulator.
