Ok- 75 Duster s6 with a/c. First problem- alt is constant 14.5 charge. I used electrical spray clean on bulkhead area. Alt gauge used to be pegged full charging- now at maybe 1/4 charging. Once I cleaned all that up- kept blowing headlights out- now with just battery on no key in ign, my horn blows and my dash brake light is lit. I disconnected horn before headache came around. Brake light stays on with or without key in. When I insert key and turn to "run" the brake light goes out. When I start the car- you can see the brake light in dash dimly light, car starts, and brake light stays off.
Is this a bad ground? Bad ign switch-no problem starting-ever. Or ???
Here is another thing- drove the car 400 miles with it saying it was way over charging yet nothing bad happened. New Battery, new ign control unit, new alt, and new volt reg. It was overcharging bad- Im thinking it was the alt gauge wire in the bulk head- since it is/was in bad shape. Both the black and red wires there def had some heat issues before.
Im stumped??!!
