My '83 TD is making a horrible bearing noise. It started yesterday, today I checked the fan cltuch and it aapears to be the culprit , BUT, just now I started the car to double check it and my brake light, battery light and brake wear light are staying on after starting the engine. I immediately thought that maybe the bearing noise was from the Alt. I checked the battery voltage while she was running and it read 12.2. I shut the car off and the voltage was the same. I need some advice guys. Right now I can't afford to be down to 1 car. Now if we buy the 380 SL (another thread)that we are looking at, then I can afford to have one car down for the count. However until then, help!
