I went through the same exact situation. It would be dim and would get brighter when increasing the blower. It'd be off without the blower or lights on but would blink when using the blinkers. I drove it like that for quite a while right up until the GEN 1 light stayed on after I shut the...

Thanks! I asked them but they said since they were replacing all the replaceable parts that they just ripped everything out and put new stuff in so didn't bother to check.

Got the rebuilt alts in today along with all new belts and two refurbished group 31's from Interstate, running like a top once again! Next job- replace a muffler and get the revolving light on the roof for plowing :D
