The alternator light wasn't coming on during self test before starting so I changed the bulb at which point it came on. No warning lights during running but no charging either, battery voltage only.
I replaced the regulator and now I've got no dash warning lights other than the fasten seat belt light and the fuel gauge doesn't work. My Indy suspects that I broke a brush when installing the regulator or I managed to get the other electrical attachment on the regulator not on its mating face. I think one of those is likely, I didn't feel good about the regulator install. The regulator I installed was a different brand (KAE I think, the original was Bosch) and looked slightly different. A dig through my parts box found a used but probably good Bosch I'll install when the weather and my cold clear. -Curt Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2012 11:27:12 -0500 From: Mitch Haley <m...@voyager.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Warning lights?

I didn't specifically mention it but the car does start and run (I > did say it didn't charge). I thought you had charging and dash light problems before removing the regulator/brush pack.
