My Generator One light does not come on until I rev the engine. Then it comes on and will not go back off until I turn the engine off and then start it again. I had the drivers side altanator tested on the truck and it did not show charing on the battery at the front of the truck. I took the Drivers side alternator off and had it tested again. It showed it was charging 17 volts. I then took of the passenger side alternator and had it tested. It read 12 volts. I know a guy that just took the engine out of a cucv and I went and got his passenger side alternator. It tested 12 volts also. I believe I read that the passenger side only needed to charge at 12 volts.
I also took the wiring harness and black light running system out of the other truck. My front lights had been painted before I got the truck and the switch had been black out light switch had been taken off along with a lot of other hot-wiring and jumpers under the dash. I was thinking about taking the wires harness out and starting over. Any suggestions.
I also read something on another web site that said that both driver and passenger Generators are the same. Then I read that the driver side is the same as a 78 Caddy and the passanger was different because it had Ground that ran to the ground block the fire wall
I no this has been talked about but I did a search with alternator and Generator as the key search word and could not get anything to come up. I also looked threw 17 pages and did not see anything.
