ignition light bright and stays on

[Gerard1234]

Ça depend.
At a guess the minus reading is simply due to the orientation of the cables on the voltage tester.

I would be very tempted to put the old regulator/control box on the car again (it doesn't need to be screwed in, just wired in) and see if the light works correctly.

I tried the old regulator but it did not work as well
I tried everything by now i think
Otherwise it will be the garage next monday

Was it the same symptoms?

[Gerard1234]

Yes
The ignition light started flickering so I went to the garage
The mechanic was turning the adjustment screws and told me he damaged it
So I ordered a new one but the problem stays

[Gerard1234]

I am a very happy person today

after testing everything I found out that the negative cable on the regulator doesn't t always give a negative as it should

I replaced the cable and now everything works as it should

thanks for the help

Excellent news Gerard - now to enjoy Minor motoring!

[Custard]

Well done.

Is that another one for the majority of electric gremlins being down to faulty earths?

Now you can enjoy driving it. It must be like a rally car compared to a softly sprung 2 CV.

The 2cv or ugly duck as she is called is so comfortable
Feels a bit like driving in a pram

[Custard]

Yes very comfortable my uncle had one and later a Dyane.

No Whitworth spanners needed for them.

If I remember most of it came apart with a 10mm and a 13mm spanner.
