Re: [T3] How to tell if Generator is charging

["Gary Gamboa" <gary_gamboa@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>I tried the tests:

1. The dashboard generator light comes on and stays on.
2. The electrical system voltage at the fuse box did not rise above 12V when 
I ran the engine at fast idle.
3. I don't have any tools with me, so I couldn't remove the DF wire from the 
generator, will the same
test at the regulator achive the same thing? I connected my meter to the DF+ 
at the regulator and disconnected the positive green wire. The voltage at 
the DF+ is 4V, when I increase rpm, it rises to
about 5-6 v.
