| Post subject: | Voltage Limiter |
I have a 66 Valiant Wagon and from reading past posts I believe the voltage limiter is bad. The car has been sitting a long time and temp and fuel guages do not work. In the engine comparment, to the right of the voltage regulator is a part that looks like a voltage limiter. It's an RPM 2291438 and has three terminals marked H, B and S. Can anyone confirm what this is? Thanks for the help. Brent |

If it is the same as my 66 Barracuda, I believe that is the horn relay. The voltage limiter is on the back of the dashboard. It's a cylinder about the diameter of a dime and about 1" long with a single wire coming out of one end of it. If I'm mistaken someone please chime in. Steve |

You are correct, that stops the horn working. Thanks for the help! |

I started to remove the instrument panel to get to my voltage limiter and when I removed my ignition switch I noticed a black wire that was not connected to the socket. Soldering the wire back on solved the problem. I remember a while back the ignition switch was loose. I probably twisted it just enough break that connection. I hope this helps if someone in the future is trying to fix a faulty temp/fuel gauge problem. |

That's a good example of why we need to troubleshoot before swapping parts! You could have chased that gremlin for miles .... Good job! |
