So I posted on here last week about a 1456 my brother bought that needed rewired. I got new harnesses for it and got it all rewired. I also wired in the alternator that was on it which was a externally regulated one. It also had a transpo regulator on it which I wired up. When I went to start the tractor up I turned the key and the trans light comes on along with the oil light but after about 3 seconds they both start to blink. The amp light does not come on at all. I did get it to come on by jumping a wire from the outer two plugs at the original regulator connector. The instrument lights work fine and do not blink at all. Now the tractor starts fine and I was getting 15.44 volts at the batteries with it running. Then I disconnected the positive cables on the batteries and hooked an ammeter from the cable to the positive post and I was getting a 10 ma draw, so I disconnected the alternator wiring and it went away. I take it my alternator is bad but any idea why the oil and trans light blink or is that something they are supposed to do?
