Cadillac Repair: 1973 Eldorado stop temp dash light always on, faulty engine, engine temp


Question
Hi the stop/eng temp light on the dash is on from the time I turn the ignition to start it, until the time I shut it off and pull the key out. Then GEN light is sort of on, it's dim. Bad ground somewhere?

Answer
GEN light is most likely a faulty rectifier bridge in the alternator.

The stop engine temp light is a faulty ENGINE TEMP SWITCH.
