ok,
GEN2 light is on all the time. voltmeter is in yellow to red all the time. headlights very dim.
1. rplaced both ends on the red/brn wires to both alt's
2. after charging and then letting truck sit for a couple of days, batts show 11.9 and 24.9 on hand held tester
3. key, off red wire show proper voltage.
4. key on brn wires show proper voltage.
5. truck running, batts do not show an increase in voltage.
am i missing any tests, or is the GEN 2 bad?
2 more questions, why no increase in voltage on GEN1 when truck runs, if GEN 2 is bad?
if GEN 2 is bad, where is the best place to get that isolated alternator?
Ah Ha! i have 2 other m1009's, i can just swap GEN2 with a known good one...then see, swap GEN1 ... then see.....correct?
so again, best place to get new GEN2?
thanks for any insight.
