    Brain Fa-t

    The drivers side alt controls the front battery correct. Having a one of those days cant do anything correct. Front battery is not charging, why wouldnt the gen1 light come on if it is not charging. It does come on when I turn the key to start. It goes off when I tap the gas pedal.
