Re: ignition light
Hi,
I converted to an alternator recently too, however I didn't rate the alternator wiring 'as supplied'. One large brown and two extremely skinny ones that didn't look up to much at all.
So I rewired / soldered the alternator connection plug, retaining the large brown but dispensing with the skinny ones and reusing the main loom wiring, as described in the instructions available on here, see below:

I was wondering if in using the kit 'as supplied' you missed reconnecting a wire?
Best wishes,
Mike.
