Troubleshooting Hints - Charging System
PROCEDURE1. Visually inspect the hydrometer (built into Battery).
^ Green dot - Battery is charged.
^ Dark dot - Charge and load test Battery. If Battery passes load test, refer to listed symptoms.
^ Clear or light yellow dot - Battery electrolyte is low. Replace Battery.
2. Check I/P Fuses 16 and 20. Check Maxifuse 3.
3. Check that the Generator Connector and Generator "BAT" terminal are both clean and tight.
4. Check that the Battery connections are clean and tight.
5. Check Generator belt.
^ 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.
