Charge Indicator Lamp

  1. If the charge indicator lamp does not come on, disconnect the wiring plug connector from the regulator. Connect a jumper wire from the wiring connector I terminal to battery negative post cable lamp.
  2. Turn ignition to RUN position with engine off. If indicator lamp does not light, check for presence of bulb socket resistor. If the resistor is present, check for contact of bulb socket leads to the flexible printed circuit. If good, check indicator bulb for continuity and replace bulb if burned out. If bulb checks good, perform regulator I circuit test.
  3. If indicator lamp does not light, remove jumper wire and reconnect wiring plug to regulator. Connect voltmeter negative lead to battery negative post cable clamp and contact voltmeter positive lead to regulator A terminal screw. Battery voltage should be indicated. If battery voltage is not indicated, service A circuit wiring.
