The charging system on my car is all new, generator and regulator. I can run everything else all at the same time and the light won't come on. I can run the wiper motor alone and the light comes on. I have checked the connections already. I even bypassed the switch to try and rule it out. It still went real slow.

Low voltage to begin with would make a motor run slow, and make a borderline system start warning when placed under load. Ask Jim Adney for his charging system FAQ. I would also rule out poor connections at the switch and motor. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
