Checking The Cable Between The Battery And The Generator (Gen)

Check that the battery is charged.

Charge the battery if necessary.

Check the cable between generator (GEN) terminal #1A and starter motor terminal #1 (the red / green flat pin cable). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Also check the cable between starter motor terminal #1 and the battery positive terminal in the same way.
