410 Alternator charging fault

[PEU186F]

Herewith, I hope, are two pdf files of a 410 wiring diagram. Two files as my scanner wont cope with the whole thing at once.

This is the most reproduceable diagram I have but it is a a copy that I was given by another 410 owner and it carries a number of annotations that he had made in respect of modifications he had made to his particular car. It is pretty clear what was original and what was not, just ignore the annotations.

I have however, in the past, found it far from easy to track what goes where in terms of the circuits between Alternator, Battery, Starter Solenoid and Ignition switch and I'd recommend starting with a large sheet of clean paper and drawing out these particular circuits, with their colours and their paths through the connecting blocks, for yourself.

You will note - there is NO ignition warning light, there are certain loads on the battery that do NOT go through the Ammeter, and the ignition switch itself is heavily overloaded.

Good luck
