Hi All,

Back in the dark ages (60s,70s, 80s) cars had little bulbs that would
come on to tell you your battery was no longer charging.

There have been a few people on the Peugeot007 self
Help FB group Im on whose alternators have died, but their cars not
charging light hasnt illuminated (despite its passing its POST before
the problem and after its been rectified (see what I did there).

Got me to thinking, how were these bulbs driven in the past (i.e, what
electrics / electronics / circuit lit them when charging stopped)?

And how are they supposed to work in €œmodern€� Cars?

On the €˜007, I believe its an LED and I SUSPECT its fed from the ECU??

Anyone know?


Fed via the BSI on most French things, do yourself a favour and don't
look up Pug/citroen BSI/BCM failures...

Reset procedure (without the appropriate diag tool) is interesting*
though

*Almost Babel fish like

What? Place the satchel in front of the panel, with the junk mail inside
it, hang your dressing-gown on the hook, place the towel over the drain
and press the dispenser button?
