My altenator siezed yestarday. I just finished changing it today and now the red light next to my brake light on the dash stays on after I start the car. The light has a G in a circle above it, but is this also my battery charge light(I have no owners manual).
If so, I'm guessing I wired it up wrong? Thanks Samson |

The green light in the LH gauge is the oil pressure light. It should come on when the key is on but the engine is not running.
The red light with the "G" in it is the generator light. It should come on when the key is on but the engine not running. Be very careful on the bulb that is in it. The bulb is critical for the charging system to charge correctly. If you put the wrong bulb in it, it won't charge. If you have a temprature gauge, the red light with the "B" in it is the brake warning light. It should flash on and off when the park brake is pulled up, and the key is on. If you don't have a temprature gauge, then you will have a big red light where the temp gauge would go across the top of the gauge. The low fuel light is located in the fuel gauge in the lower left corner. It comes on when the float in the tank reaches the bottom of it's travel. When it comes on, you have 2.5 gallons of gasoline left in the tank. Hope that helps. |
