Troubleshooting Hints - Charging System

CHARGING SYSTEM
1. Check the hydrometer eye that is built into the vehicle Battery before troubleshooting the Charging System.

- Green eye - Battery is charged.
- Dark eye - Battery is discharged. Recharge Battery.
- Clear or yellow eye - Battery fluid is low. Replace Battery.

2. Check the Generator belt.
3. Check that the Generator connector terminals are clean and tight.
4. Check the vehicle voltmeter (if equipped) to assure accurate voltage reading.
5. Check that Battery connections are clean and tight.
6. Check CLUST, IGN and INDIC Fuses.

^ Check for a broken (or partially broken) wire inside of the insulation which could cause system failure but prove "GOOD" in a continuity/voltage check.
^ Check for proper installation of aftermarket electronic equipment which may affect the integrity of other systems.
