well i neednhelp my 76 kombi is sick and i don't know why or how ,i went to do a jump start from a full battry but i hooked the leads up back to front i know been doingit for forty years,what can i say getting old maybe
the problem was after i put the fire out it was mainly old electric tape and the alternator ever seen one burn from the inside out spectacular,all was well i replaced the alternator and regulator.now the genny light goes of when started but is on when the ignition is off
anyone any ideas

thanks i have already done that

Funny to say, the same thing happened to me recently, but without changing the polarity...the bus was stored for two years and when I wanted to start it the alternator just burned...

getting very interesting alians mite be here now ok back under the bed again spooky
