Was changing the plugs and leads on my 65 Valiant AP6 and the socket wrench contacted and sparked on the back of the alternator. My bad....no I didn't disconnect the battery. Went to start up and no ignition. Also not getting any dash gauges or oil light activating, apart from amp gauge (Battery checked/ ok, checked fuses under dash centre also) I noticed the aftermarket stereo fascia has dim light around the buttons and turning the ignition key on/off the oil light flashed on once only. I've ordered a new voltage regulator...... am I on the right track thinking this has blown? Really would appreciate any help. I'm a bit stuck and have 5yo electrics knowledge, this I also need to fix! Cheers, Luke 65 Valiant AP6 225 auto (Australia) |

Fusible link? At work now, so can't immediately find a picture. - Eric |

You likely smoked your fusible link, which you can read about here. It will need replaced with a new fusible link of the correct wire gauge and length, or you can retrofit a slow-blow fuse of the appropriate amperage rating; see here. Do not just replace the fuselink with plain wire, or the next time you have an electrical oops, the damage will be much more extensive. Quote: I've ordered a new voltage regulator...... am I on the right track thinking this has blown? No, you probably did not damage the voltage regulator.
