Test H: Charge Indicator Never On

  1. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect 2-pin generator harness connector C117. Using a jumper wire, ground Yellow/Black wire at terminal No. 1 at generator harness connector C117. Turn ignition switch to RUN position and start engine. If charge warning indicator illuminates, repair charging system. See GENERATORS & REGULATORS - VILLAGER article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS. If charge warning indicator does not illuminate, reconnect generator harness connector C117 and go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Disconnect instrument cluster harness connector C266c. Measure voltage between terminal No. 4 (Yellow/Blue wire) and No. 5 (Blue wire) at instrument cluster harness connector C266c. See Figure. If battery voltage exists, replace instrument cluster printed circuit. See PRINTED CIRCUIT  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step.
  3. Turn ignition switch to LOCK position. Remove joint connector C2011. Remove Black diode shorting strip from joint connector C2011. Measure resistance of Yellow/Blue wire between terminal No. 4 at instrument cluster harness connector C266c and terminal No. 5 at joint connector C2011. See Figure and Figure . If resistance is 5 ohms or less, go to next step. If resistance is greater than 5 ohms, repair open in Yellow/Black wire.
  4. Disconnect 2-pin generator harness connector C117. Measure resistance of Yellow/Black wire between terminal No. 1 at generator harness connector C117 and terminal No. 5 at joint connector C2011. If resistance is 5 ohms or less, replace Black diode shorting strip. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Yellow/Black wire.
