My Ruby was placed on the naughty step yesterday, just going off to meet with the local A7 club members but just half a mile from home the ignition warning light came on, so immediately about turned and swopped cars.
As the old Sam Cook song goes "Don't know much about .......electrics" but I assumed it must be a dynamo or cut out problem.
Sorted through numerous old articles and forum links and carried out a few tests but could not find any continuity from the dynamo using bulbs and circuit testers and so removed the cover to investigate further and found what looks to my untrained eye a broken wire.
I realise that to some this may be blindingly obvious but for all the Sam Cook's of this world, me in particular, can someone more knowledgeable please confirm that this is the case.
If it's dead I'll need to replace it.
