Ignition Warning Light Trouble Shooting. (LED Users beware)
At low RPM the alternator requires a voltage supply from the battery via the ignition light circuit to energize the stator within the alternator in order that the alternator can produce a charge. Because a conventional filament bulb is effectively a resistor it can pass voltage from the battery to the alternator to energize the stator, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) however passes current one way only i.e it cannot pass voltage from the battery to the alternator, so the circuit cannot energize the stator and create a charge.
If an LED is fitted within the warning lamp circuit the ignition warning light will stay on and the alternator will not charge below 2500rpm. When the rpm is raised above 2500rpm the alternator self-energizes dispensing with need for supply via the ignition warning light circuit and the LED will go out. The issue has only recently come to 'light' with owners altering their dash bulbs to LED.
