My alternator light came on so before I look into a replacement, is there any troubleshooting I should do first? Thanks Mike Kelly

Just noticed this warning under the illustration you linked:
"The illustration depicts the fuel gauge used in 1972 and is incorrect for the 1973 model year." Maybe the 74 manual also used that picture? |

QUOTE(Tbrown4x4 @ Sep 26 2018, 03:58 AM)  Just noticed this warning under the illustration you linked: "The illustration depicts the fuel gauge used in 1972 and is incorrect for the 1973 model year." Maybe the 74 manual also used that picture? Great, thank you for opening the link I provided; you may the only one, and yes it is incorrect for a 74. This was why I was confused in the beginning. I went to my Haynes manual to see what it would take to replace my oil pump. In doing so, I discovered that my oil pressure switch wire had came off the switch. Reconnected and all is good. Thanks everyone for your input. Mike Kelly |
