I have had my M1008 for a few months now and I absolutely love it. Since I have had the truck the Gen 2 light has never come on at all. After reading many posts on here I have learned that it must so I have searched it and did all of my reading up on what it could be. Unfortunately I am still lost and trying to read through all 940 pages of the -20 is something I don't think I have the patience for so I hope you can help.
I thought it might be the bulb so I pulled it out and it looked good. I then took a test light and checked the copper strip where the bulb socket is. There I have 24VDC. I went to the auto parts store and bought a brand new bulb just to be on the safe side but still nothing.
I guess my question is on the back panel where the bulb socket twists in, is the other side a basic ground or is it a closed circuit? I was guessing it had to be a closed circuit if it is to be part of the charging system but I am not sure. If it is a closed circuit where does that circuit go to so I know where to look for the problem? Does it run back to the Alt on the passenger side?
I just bought an volt meter and ohm meter to help me figure it out but unfortunately it is way too dark tonight to mess with it. Any help on leads of where to start would be great.
Thanks,
