My 1990 900S died on us tonight, and the car was towed the last mile. The ignition/charging light came on while we were driving, and I chanced driving the rest of the way on just the battery. Almost made it, too! Anyway,after being towed home I was able to start it again in the driveway, and was able to back it into the garage. Ignition/charge light was on, and revving the engine did not make it go out. "Check Engine" light's now on, too. Belts are tight, and the alternator is turning. Connections, including ground to the alternator are good. How do you troubleshoot one of these cars' charging systems?
