Having finished playing with the brakes, I decided to have a quick test drive / trash.
Mid-thrash, putting a fast Audi into its place behind me, all of a sudden all the dash lights went dark and voltmeter showing below thee minimum mark (goes lower if engine not running). Headlights work but none of the interior electrics do not even the heater fan.
I made it home but clearly no charge is coming through as the battery has been discharging and currently sitting at 12.1v not the usual 12.7v.
The alternator is simply too hot to touch for more than a second. Not sure if it’s toast or if when it’s not producing you get major current going though it’s rectifiers which would heat it up.
Given the dash lights and interior electrics have gone, I’m suspecting fusible link issues but all the diagrams I find are for US 260Zs. Anyone have designations for which link is for what and what the ratings they are for a late UK 260?
TIA!
Ps. On the upside having released a stuck brake piston, the car is no longer constantly pulling right when you let go of the wheel!
