[Mk2] [Turbo] Dashlight madness - techguys join here!

Post by Daemonslayer »

hi fellas,
my car was parked in my garage for 3 months now.(LHD MR2 swapped to turbo)

As i started it last weekend - i was missing some cluster warning lights before i start the engine.
they came on from time to time - sometimes just flicker.
ok iam missing :
left side : battery (red)
right side : engine fan (red),Oillevel (yellow),parkingbrake((!)) red

Ive read that guys get the 3 lights from hell when the alternator is on its way out.When i start the engine (and idle or am boosting) all lights turn/stay off and i have no warning lights at all. (no CELs either).

my alternator was overhauled 2 years ago.

Could this be related to the Alternator charging circuit?
sometimes the missing lights stay on for 5 minutes than just disapear.

Anyone got a hint?
