For about 2 months now, because I had to keep using a charger to start my car about every two weeks, I was assumed my clock or radio had enough current draw to deplete my battery. Just today it occurred to me the alternator light did not come on with the ignition switch in accessory mode. After remove the instrument panel I found out why; I had no alternator lamp or screw in socket installed in the hole for the light on the instrument cluster PC board. I did notice that the hole for the screw in socket was bigger that the sockets for the other accessory lights, which means I cannot use sockets from those accessories.
Does anyone know where an alternator lamp socket (and lamp) can be sourced? Can the one from the x1/9 work.? Back up plan will be to solder a lamp to the connections on the PC board. BTW, like my other fiats, I assume the lamp is needed for the charging circuit to work.
