Touchy W123 Voltage Regulator - 3 Warning Lights on at Same Time
Here's another chapter in this saga...
The lights are back on. (see original post) I checked the Overload Protection relay. It is located to the right of the glove box above the right kick panel. Even though it looked OK (fuse was fine), I swapped it out with another relay. The warning lights were still on.
We checked the cluster and found that one of the ribbon printed circuits had broken and there was melting going on. So we soldered the wire and insulated it for a quick fix and replaced a light bulb that looked suspect. The warning lights were still on.
Next we swapped out the alternator with a known good used unit. This time all the warning lights went out.
Now I have to find a good fuel gauge / oil pressure / Temp gauge module to put into the cluster to replace the fragile repair we made.
Many thanks to W. Roy Hunter for his help and the late hours we worked to hopefully resolve this issue.
