With Conventional Instrument Cluster

Charging System Warning






A red charging system warning indicator is located in the instrument cluster. This indicator glows when there is no generator output.

When the ignition switch contacts are closed, battery current flows through the charge indicator and the parallel resistor (500 ohm) to the generator and the indicator comes on.

When the generator builds up enough voltage to energize a circuit in the voltage regulator, the charge indicator goes out.
