Howdy all. A couple of questions.... but first thanks to those who answered my last post and suggested the grounding harness. I did, it worked like a charm. Now everything is working on the truck except the ammeter and the wait light.
I have the old prestolite white label PCB. In reading the forums, Is the wait light supposed to come on with the white label PCB ? ,There’s no “ wait for the light to extinguish to start” sticker, and everything else is there fresh from the KS guard. Also, in reading the forums, it seems like this PCB is somewhat repairable, containing basically a few 24 V relays... is this true?
I re-grounded my gauge cluster, including the individual gauges.... I’m still showing it not charging when the truck runs. The maintenance history and “people tinkering with it” factor is fairly high, as it did not have batteries when we got it and I would imagine it was started this way several times by jumping at the surplus yard. it does not seem unlikely that it might have been jumped wrong or backwards.
what else can I check. Everything works except the charging and wait light.
Thanks,
Jim
