Can anyone shed some light on what is needed to get the charging light working on my van.I am sure I read somewhere that there should be some sort of relay/diode behind the dash.If so,I need one :o

Dave,
for the original setup to work, you need the correct type of alternator, as well as the transistorised 'box of tricks' which was parked on the engine side of the bulkhead.

Both items are nigh on impossible to find nowadays (with the electronic box rumoured to be as rare a find as a 'restaurated' 1960s car which still has drum brakes and a smaller than 602 engine). :roll:

i send this guy a message too but it seems that this mail is no longer eexists.

now sorry for hijacking this post :oops: but on the side where the indicators (alarms) button exist there is a light (the alarm's bulb) and around it there three "waitings" for small bulbs. I was wondering what are these for ?

Unfortunately,
the clue should have been in the prices listed, which are far too low for Citroen parts in the USA nowadays. :(
