I'm looking for some advice on the next step I should take troubleshooting a Gen 1 light that is staying on in my M1028.
The light came on two days ago, so I followed the TM and ended up replacing the alternator. I used the Duralast alternator listed in the wiki. Light went off for about 6 hours, at which point I realized that the old front battery had popped after the light came back on. I replaced the front battery, but the Gen 1 light still has a dim glow to it that does not go out if you rev the motor, but does get brighter the more things you turn on.
I checked the voltage on the system, and am getting 12.5V on the front battery with the system off, and 14.5V on the front battery and 14.6V at the alternator with the system on. It seems like the system is actually charging, but my light won't go out for some reason. I haven't had any issues with the Gen 1 light prior to this either.
I've already looked through pertinent threads to try and find some answers or other things to try, but haven't found anything out of place yet. Does anyone have a good point to start with?
Thanks in advance.
