Was driving last week and the generator light came on, went off, came on again, and then it stayed on.
Belt is on, VR was swapped with another I have around (and another is on the way), ground at the tranny is connected and good, battery charged and tightened, fuses 8 & 9 are good and new, spun to make sure they are connected. Voltage meter is showing 12 to 13. Anything else I can troubleshoot before I pull the generator? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Thanks guys. The battery is coming through at 12.2 off and running at idle 13.65. Does that mean it's charging?
