Yes I replaced the bulb(s)...
So, after many days of wandering the SS site looking at Alternator threads, and studying the TMs and FMs.
What exactly is happening if the GEN 1 light doesn't come on at start up (or ever for that matter) I'm curious since I roughly understand how to fix the problem but not necessarily what is causing it.
Gen 2 comes on and goes out like it should. And the voltmeter in the dash is reading low green/high yellow. So one of the alternators is probably bad for some reason.
I've replaced the bulbs and cleaned the contacts on the "circuit board" and have new 6TN batteries.
Am I reading it correctly in assuming then that the driver side (gen 1) alternator is bad for some reason?
Or is there a simpler wiring type problem that could be the cause?
