Test J - Charge Indicator Always/Never On

  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Inspect fuse No. 15 (7.5-amp) in instrument panel fuse box. If fuse No. 15 is okay, go to next step. If fuse No. 15 is blown, repair short to ground and replace fuse. See WIRING DIAGRAMS.
  2. Disconnect generator 3-pin harness connector. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Connect jumper wire between ground and Light Green/Red wire at generator harness connector. If charge indicator illuminates, repair charging system. See appropriate GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in CHARGING & STARTING SYSTEMS. If charge indicator does not illuminate, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect instrument cluster 10-pin harness connector C-216. Measure voltage at terminal No. 2 (Yellow wire) at instrument cluster harness connector C-216. See Figure -Figure . If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is less than 10 volts, repair open in Yellow wire.
  4. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Measure resistance in Light Green/Red wire between terminal No. 3 at instrument cluster harness connector C-216 and generator harness connector. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open Light Green/Red wire.
  5. Check for continuity between charge indicator bulb terminals of printed circuit. If continuity exists, replace printed circuit. If continuity does not exist, replace bulb.
