First I smelled something funny. Smelled like varnish off the alternator. Then I seen the raditor and "lights" dummy lights came on. I did the headlights down mod. I thought that the "lights" dummy light wasn't supposed to work with the mod. Anyways, both the lights go on as soon as I hit the gas in and out of gear. and turn off after 30sec or so at idle. I checked the voltage (brand new high amp) high 12's with no draw, low 12's with everything on. Also A/C compressor turns off when the dummy lights turn on and switches back on after the lights turn off. I am guessing something with the alternator. Voltage regulator? But why does it throw the raditor and "lights" lights and not the battery light? I have the Haynes, Chiltons, and the nissan service manual (z31 supplement II) I haven't had a chance to look yet, but I will tommorow. Does this sound fimilar to anybody? Any little bit of info will be greatly appreciated.
